The Best Wuthering Heights Film

There are so many versions of Wuthering Heights. The most hallowed is one of its firsts: the 1939 version with Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier. Now while it does have the setting of the moors and the angst of Cathy and Heathcliff, this film version, as do many of them, do not tell the entire novel, ending the film with Cathy's death, Heathcliff's mourning, and no second generation, which is half of the novel. 

Now the best version, the one that I saw first when I was 16 and before I had read the novel, is the 1992 version entitled Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, starring two of the best actors in the world, Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes. While it's not a perfect representation of the novel, it's the best one that I've seen thus far. 

And, in exciting news, MPLEX is showing Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights tomorrow, Saturday May 9, at 9:25 a.m. and 5:10 p.m. So for those of you wanting the visualization of this extraordinary novel and you have this channel, here is your chance. Happy viewing!
