Forget polite schoolbook adaptations. Emerald Fennell, director of the buzzed-about “Saltburn”, takes on Emily Brontë’s classic and does so on her own uncompromising terms.
This is not a story about love that builds. It’s a tale of passion that burns everything in its path. On the harsh, wind-swept moors of Yorkshire a feeling is born between Cathy (Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi). Their relationship is wild, obsessive and destructive.
Fennell mixes gothic darkness with a modern, music-video style, creating a visual masterpiece about desire and revenge. A controversial casting only intensifies the atmosphere — Elordi as Heathcliff is magnetic, dark and dangerous, and the chemistry between him and Robbie explodes on screen.
