British writer and director Andrea Arnold takes on the classic novel by Emily Brontë in her third feature with a new and bold interpretation. After a young orphan is adopted by a family, he develops an intense relationship with his foster sister which paves the way for tragedy. Since the novel has been adapted several times since the beginning of cinema, it justifies Arnold to bring her raw vision which succeeds more often than it fails with its color blind casting of non professional actors, stunning cinematography and void of music. While Arnold brings authenticity that comes with brutality and sensuality, the romance suffers which might affect its core audience. 1001 Films' coverage of the Sundance Film Festival 2012.
