I don't really know the Wuthering Heights story so maybe this plays fast and/or loose with the setup (though I sense that it doesn't). This genre is a hard sell for me, I must admit. While I could appreciate the beauty of these shots right away (Arnold has a true knack for photographing animals, it's no surprise she made a cinema verite about a cow), it took some work to get into this world. I never quite did. Which isn't to say this isn't a good movie (I'm kind of shocked it's only got a 68% RT score). I genuinely think it's good that she stepped out of her comfort zone to make this (though the theme of the outsider still runs parallel to her other work) but I ultimately found this, the 47th or so adaptation of the classic novel, a bit stale, despite the lovely atmosphere. |
