Film. Because:
- It’s bonkers – Emerald Fennell reminds us what hyperbole means.
- I laughed at the most unexpected things (Isabella is brilliant and the consent scene between her and Heathcliff – memorable).
- The sets (the ‘skin’ room!), the costumes, the bleakness and the lushness combined. Must be seen on the big-screen.
Note: I re-read Wuthering Heights this week, before seeing the film last night. I hadn’t read it since I was in my teens. Wish I could remember what I thought of it then – did I attach the word ‘romantic’ to Cathy and Heathcliff? I certainly didn’t on reading it again. Instead, the words toxic and violent come to mind. It makes MAFS look like fluff.
