WUTHERING HEIGHTS

MARCH 7 - 19

Based on the classic, darkly-passionate, Gothic-romance of English literature: A passionate and tumultuous love story set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, exploring the intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.

Auteur director Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman, Saltburn) liberally adapts Emily Brontë's classic story with a heavy dose of carnality and chic stylization. While it strays from the source material and has an anachronistic, pulsing-pop soundtrack by Charlie XCX, 2026's Wuthering Heights is visually delectable and still captures the Brontë vibe with vigor. Oh, and those leads aren't bad to look at!

"Fennell has made something both tantalizing and risqué, but also artful. We need more of that." -Empire Magazine

"It's all breathlessly overheated, styled to the gods, and it looks great. If the film never quite reaches escape velocity, any scene featuring Alison Oliver's bookish, hilariously intense Isabella easily achieves, and maintains, cruising altitude." -NPR*

*co-sign, Alison Oliver almost steals the film.

For Tuesday, March 10th's 7:30 special screening only: Considered shocking in its own day, Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel Wuthering Heights has been adapted to the screen innumerable times. The latest in this long series is Emerald Fennell’s controversial new film, which has divided fans of the original book, critics, and the general public. Join literature and film expert Matthew Ramsey and Brontë specialist and novelist Dean de la Motte (Oblivion: The Lost Diaries of Branwell Brontë), both faculty at Salve Regina University, for a discussion following the screening. Charter Books will also be in the lobby with Brontë and film inspired literature!
