Emily Brontë's Romantic Bard

Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights likely presence at the Venice Film Festival is mentioned in several media:

"Wuthering Heights" (Andrea Arnold)
Lowdown: A new take on Emily Brontë's romantic bard from the groundbreaking director of "Fish Tank" and "Red Road." (Gregory Ellwood in HitFix)

The Lido will also see an unusually strong U.K. presence consisting of Swedish helmer Tomas Alfredson's John Le Carre adaptation "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy," from Blighty's Working Title; Andrea Arnold's "Wuthering Heights"; and Steve McQueen's "Shame," all previously tipped. (Nick Vivarelli in Variety)

Emily Brontë died too soon according to The Denver Post:

Emily Brontë. Although I didn't love reading “Wuthering Heights” in high school, I wish she had lived long enough to write more books. (Jayne Gest)

One of the many adaptations of her only novel is considered by The Philippines Star as one of the 25 most memorable films:

Hihintayin Kita sa Langit, 1991, Carlitos Siguion-Reyna. An adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, this well-written, well-photographed, well-scored melodrama looks well in Philippine setting. With the tandem of Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta and fine support from Jackielou Blanco, Eric Quizon and Michael de Mesa, it set a standard for “quality,” first-rate moviemaking hereabouts. (Mario A. Hernando)

The Guardian talks about a movie theatre in Jerusalem, Lev Smadar, where curiously enough Jane Eyre 2011 is being screened; Projectredhotmama and Three girls in a book (in French) review the film; another high school reading list which includes Jane Eyre in Holmdel Patch; My Bookshelf: Reading the Classics has read the novel and TheWittyGirl (on YouTube) and Le blog de Caro (in French) review it;  Period Movie Box reviews Jane Eyre 1996; Gothic Soul Mind & Heart, Cat Loves Yarn... and Scifi ands The North Orchard post about Wuthering Heights; luca.dorico posts a Heathcliff-inspired drawing on Flickr.
