Adaptation of the famous gothic novel by Emily Brontë, directed by Andrea Arnold.

Kaya Scodelario (Skins) as Cathy and James Howson as Heathcliff lead an impressive British cast in this timeless story of two of the most memorable lovers in literature.

A Yorkshire hill farmer on a visit to Liverpool finds a homeless boy on the streets. He takes him home to live as part of his family on the isolated Yorkshire moors where the boy forges an obsessive relationship with the farmer's daughter.

This raw and gritty version of Emily Brontë's classic novel is ruthlessly brought down to its essential roots, and presents us with an adaptation that's startlingly original and completely unforgettable.

Wuthering Heights is Academy Award-winning writer-director Andrea Arnold's third feature following the BAFTA award winning, Fish Tank and Cannes Jury Prize winning Red Road.
