Synopsis
Peter Kosminksy directed this faithful adaptation of the Emily Bronte classic. Ralph Fiennes has the role of Heathcliff, a wanderer adopted by the father of Cathy (Juliette Binoche), "a wild slip of a girl." Heathcliffe is looked down upon by his stepbrothers and becomes a servant. He is further crushed when Cathy, the love of his life, marries another man -- since to marry a servant would be the ultimate in humiliation for her. Heathcliffe disappears for a number a years but then returns, revenge and hatred for Cathy's family the only thing on his mind. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
Peter Kosminsky's adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche as the doomed lovers, comes to DVD with an anamorphic widescreen transfer that preserves the original aspect ratio of the production. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, but fans of the talented cast and of the source material will not be disappointed with this Paramount title. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

This goes beyond the version of old! Ralph Fiennes is perfect as the tortured Heathcliff and Juliette Binoche shines as both Cathy & her daughter.
