The other day i saw 'Wuthering Heights' on itv. It was shown in two 75 mins sections over two days! It was really very good! Heathcliff was played by Tom Hardy (he was incredibly sexy in it!) and Cathy played by Charlotte Riley (who is also stunninly beautiful). So, awesome pair!
Although it had an amazing cast, top-class acting, was written by a Bronte sister (Emily Bronte to be specific) it felt rushed... to a certain degree... characters seemed rash in some of their decisions and just as we (the viewers) were about to really get some insight and real depth (which i believe the actors were dying to give)- the script demanded for the next piece of action or scene to happen. So in short, i think two 75 mins sections is way to short to really build the tension and drama in this story and its characters demand.
but that's being overly analytic perhaps....
anyway, nice costumes, it's period drama (what's not to like about that?!) and i definitely digged Tom Hardy's sexy moody-ness! In fact my mother and i thought the character of Heathcliff is very similar to the Phantom (Phantom of the Opera)- misunderstood, in love, vengeful and kinda dark and gothy. :)
And I'm sure you've noticed the screen shots included, for your viewing pleasure (as always, click on them to be directed to their source)
