Review of Wuthering Heights (1992) by Libby T — 30 May 2006

An adaptation of the only true-piece of art from the Bronte family, this film lags for those of us who have tried despeartely to admire the sisters for their art because of Kosminksy's bombastic style of not just filming but in editing as welll. None the less, the dialogue is incredibly well delivered for such a poorly aged novel and it definately does honour to a literary contribution that is bound to eventually become essential to the Western Canon once again.

Fiennes and Binoche are at their best, and those who criticize Binoche's effortless grace as being drawn back or wooden clearly have not reached far enough into the depths of Bronte - just read about one of their characters (especially Emily's) and then try saying this.

Oh, and the performances are pretty.
