Nothing much to report today, with the exception of something that happened on a day like today in 1939 according to Montana's News Station:
On April 14th, 1939, the movie "Wuthering Heights," starring Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier, premiered in New York.
Meanwhile on the blogosphere, Grandiloquence posts about Wuthering Heights, Culturofil reviews - in French - Kijû Yoshida's take on Wuthering Heights:
Kijû Yoshida fait preuve de précision et de maîtrise dans la mise en scène de ce film réalisé en 1988. Plus qu’une simple adaptation cinématographique d’un classique de la littérature, Les Hauts de Hurlevent est une œuvre ambitieuse qui puise son inspiration dans un texte critique de George Bataille. De ce roman unique d’Emily Brontë, l’écrivain français établit que « l’érotisme est l’approbation de la vie jusque dans la mort. » Guidé par cette réflexion, Kijû Yoshida filme son interprétation des Hauts de Hurlevent en mettant en avant sa vision du sexe comme cœur de la vie.

An alert from Treeton, Rothertham, UK:
Treeton Ladies Group - The Brontë Connection with Hathersage (guest speaker: Mr R Hobson) 14 April 2009, 19:45 - 21:00
Location: Treeton Baptist Church, Station Road, Treeton, Rotherham,
Finally, Deputy in a bonnet watches André Techiné's Les Soeurs Brontë:
The general film is slow, full of angsty/tension filled stares, creepy music (and creepy Emily), and an overly theatrical, frontal way of acting. It reminds me of Fry and Laurie's Australian soap sketch. (_Stormcrow_)
