Wuthering Sundance

A few websites, such as Criterion Cast, are reporting that Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights will be screened at Sundance:

The festival has announced some of their lineup, and the most interesting addition is easily Andrea Arnold’s ‘Fish Tank’ follow-up, ‘Wuthering Heights.’ The film has found a bunch of great buzz after its premiere at TIFF and Venice earlier this year, and is far and away one of 2012’s most interesting films. [...]
Personally, ‘Heights’ is the film I’m most eager to check out, particularly due to the film’s cast and obviously Arnold’s involvement, a filmmaker I absolutely love. (Joshua Brunsting)

The Salt Lake Tribune adds that the film will be screened at the Spotlight non-competitive section:

Variety looks at screenwriters with Oscar possibilities:

For "Jane Eyre" screenwriter Moira Buffini, writing scenes without words is "most of the job." She says she writes to illuminate, using everything from "the kind of kitchenware that the characters may use, to the banks of storm clouds in the sky."
Buffini was very impressed with Jane Eyre's love of drawing and painting, so she wrote that into the script.
"There's one tiny scene in the film where on her way to bed one night, Jane holds her candle up to a picture of a naked woman that Rochester has framed on a wall. I wrote 'She studies it with an artist's curiosity -- and a girl's.' The scene very simply opens up Jane's sexual awakening to us," Buffini says.
Like Hazanavicius, Buffini tried to be very clear in her writing for the actor, as when describing a certain emotion.
"For example, rather than saying, 'She is tearful,' say 'She is struggling to contain her tears.' That is active," she says. (Lisa Carroll)

The film is reviewed in Spanish by Loco por el cine and Perspectivas and in Greek by Eulogison to Cinema.

What's On Stage reviews Withering Looks giving it 4 stars:

Only two of the famous 19th century sisters appeared on stage, Charlotte and Emily, superbly performed and narrated by Sue Ryding and Maggie Fox, the missing sister, Anne, never appeared because of "government cut-backs". The actors seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as the very appreciative audience who simply lapped it up. I have never heard so much prolonged laughter at Truck in my life; very infectious, very entertaining.Multiple of "withering looks" left the audience falling about laughing just at the facial expressions of these two very funny ladies.
Better than any pantomine and a real tonic, "feel-good" theatre, fully recommended to brighten up even the darkest, wildest of deep winters nights, yes, even in down town Hull. (Gary Clark)

Spiked reflects:

It is routinely observed that the one recurring feature of English literature is the stately home - from the eponymous ones of classics like Wuthering Heights and Brideshead Revisited to those featured in more recent, self-referential works like Ian McEwan’s Atonement and Sarah Waters’ The Little Stranger. The confined, rarefied environs of such places provide a perfect setting for the great themes of British society, from class division to the decay of empire and its replacement with a genteel conservationism.

The Lancashire Telegraph carries a story about tourists from the Far East:

EAST Lancashire has become the latest stopping off point for students from the Far East who want to get to grips with literature classics. [...]
The latest 50-strong party, from Singapore, fitted in their tours between visiting Lake Dristict, home of Williams Wordsworth, and Haworth, where the Brontë sisters lived. Others have gone on to visit Stratford upon Avon, where William Shakespeare was born Tour guide Angela Cheong, said it was the sixth time this year groups from China and Singapore had stopped off in Lancashire and the visits were always popular.
She said: “Earlier in the week we have been to The Lakes, with strong links to Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter and Haworth, home of the Brontës. [...]" (Nafeesa Shan)
