Abismos de pasión (1954)

 

A partial retelling of Wuthering Heights in 19th century Mexico.

Wonderfully photographed and directed, this adaptation of the classic novel goes straight to the overheated passions and never lets loose; generally, a mainstream production with occasional Buñuel touches sprinkled in.

Maltin**1/2: "Strikingly directed but talky, overbaked, ultimately unsuccessful version..." 

 

Wuthering Heights (2011)

A poor boy of unknown origins is rescued from poverty and taken in by the Earnshaw family where he develops an intense relationship with his young foster sister, Cathy.

Dark and intense adaptation is at best evoking passion and dread from the naturalistic and beautiful comprehension of the Yorkshire moors; in comparison, the actual story fades behind the visual brilliance.

Maltin**: "...retains Brontë's familiar account of love and death on the wind-torn Yorkshire moors. Its sole novelty, a dark-skinned antihero, agrees with her written description. But while it's still  the usual doom (hers) and gloom (his) and seethes with passion, it utterly lacks romance. Moreover, bleak settings and unlikable people make for a morose sit, both murky and earthy - often all too literally."

Emily Bronte: Love and Friendship

Love and Friendship


Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship like the holly-tree
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?

The wild-rose briar is sweet in the spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?

Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now
And deck thee with the holly's sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He may still leave thy garland green.
