Directed by Andrea Arnold in 2011 based on Emily Brontë's 1846 novel, this period drama recreates the world-famous gothic love story. The director seems to have taken an assumption that the audience knows the story in advance since the film omits so many important scenes such as Heathcliff's life in America. The deaths of the characters appear so sudden that I wondered what the heck happened. Compared to the 1939 film, the opening sequence seems monotonous and disinteresting.
