Tell us: has the new Wuthering Heights film adaptation inspired you to read Emily Brontë’s novel? | Film


Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights came to theatres worldwide on 13 February, with the director Emerald Fennell saying she hopes it will “provoke a sort of primal response.”

But Brontë’s tempestuous 1847 novel itself has been described as too extreme for the screen and on its release it was certainly not interpreted as a love story. “I can’t adapt the book as it is but I can approximate the way it made me feel,” Fennell has said.

We want to hear from you. Has you been inspired to seek out the novel for the first time – or re-read it after a long interval – in the run-up to the new adaptation? What did you think of reading the book? Do you think it will change your experience of watching the film? If you’ve seen the film how did it compare?
