"Directed by Emerald Fennell, the trailer released last week promises a cinematic, broody take on Emily Bronte's 1847 Gothic novel of the same name. Set in the West Yorkshire moors, the trailer hints at eroticism while conjuring the feeling of English walls suffering from rising damp and pained hearts aching from a doomed love, with enough anguish to inspire any emo kid."
"The trailer also features a new song, "Chains of Love," by pop star Charli XCX who has written the film's soundtrack the first album after her global hit, "Brat." For anyone who hasn't read the novel and might only have the 1978 Kate Bush song "Wuthering Heights" as their main reference, the basic plot is as follows: Heathcliff is an orphan from Liverpool who is described "a dark-skinned gypsy" a term which in the context of 19-century Britain, implied foreignness or racial difference."
Emerald Fennell directs a cinematic, broody film adaptation of Wuthering Heights due Valentine's Day, starring Margot Robbie as Catherine and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. The trailer sets the story on the West Yorkshire moors with heavy rain, fog and pained glances, hinting at eroticism and doom. Pop star Charli XCX wrote and performs the soundtrack, including the new song "Chains of Love." The novel's plot centers on Heathcliff, an orphan described as "a dark-skinned gypsy," whose outsider status fuels class and racial tensions. Catherine marries Edgar Linton for status, prompting Heathcliff's possessive love to turn to revenge, destroying families across generations.
