Wuthering Heights (Hurlevent)

Jacques Rivette was never a typical romantic. While some of his greatest works have romance within them, it’s more often between a human and an idea - conspiracy, art, or somewhere in between - than a grand affair between mere dabbling mortals.  Perhaps, then, there would…

Prisons of possessive desire. A very adorned and stylized reappropriation of Brontë’s book by Rivette’s aesthetic and dramaturgical sensibilities. It’s intensely emotional, violent and tortured as the book’s adaptations usually tend to be, but the oneiric interludes give…
