Mad love: Wuthering Heights
Even spookier than the 3-minute original.
Not too long ago Noel and I were watching the opera singer Hayley Westenra covering the song, and it occurred to us that something was wrong. Her voice was beautiful, her rendition spot-on. . .but she was smiling! Smiling! And this song is sung by the ghost of a woman who died of heartbreak!
Andrea Arnold’s recent adaptation of the Emily Bronte offers an interesting interpretation of why Heathcliff was treated that way.
Our favorite version of Wuthering Heights is the one from 1992 with Ralph Fiennes as Heathcliff, Juliette Binoche as Cathy, and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s crazed/swoony soundtrack. Wait for Heathcliff’s reaction when he learns that she is dead.
But we haven’t seen the 2009 version with Tom Hardy.
