Review of Wuthering Heights (2011) by Manny C — 12 May 2013
Have you ever seen so much rain in one movie? Director Andrea Arnold's (Red Road, Fish Tank) impressionistic take on Emilty Bronte's 1847 novel is mostly just that: a failed impression. Arnold and her cinematographer Robbie Ryan shot in natural light, but there's no artfulness, only murkiness.
It doesn't help that we constantly, and I mean constantly, can hear the rustling winds. So much wind. The novel was a Gothic classic, this latest adaptation is just dour. There's no poetry, no passion to the proceedings, not even with the rawness of non-professional actors.
A huge dud.
