yet bitter and charismatic relationship."

a simmering pot of innocent charm and searing passion."
The Guardian

on its own terms, quite rewarding."

Peter Kosminsky asked me to do Wuthering Heights and the shooting did not go too well. Later, he wrote me this most beautiful letter and it changed my life because it was the most loving letter. It was a recognition of what had happened.”

A sweeping, epic production with Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes as the doomed lovers Cathy and Heathcliff, whose passionate love and tragic separation plays out against the unforgettable Yorkshire moors.
Heathcliff, a wanderer is adopted by Cathy’s father. Heathcliff is looked down upon by his stepbrother and following the father’s death is relegated to a servant. His only kindness comes from Cathy and the pair are deeply attached to each other.
He is further crushed when Cathy, agrees to marry another man, Edgar Linton. To marry a servant would be the ultimate degradation for her. Heartbroken, Heathcliff disappears for a number a years but then returns, revenge and hatred for Cathy's family the only thing on his mind.
