Empire's Under the Radar looks at the Cannes winners:
. . .but the decision to give Best Director to Carlos Reygadas for his baffling Post Tenebras Lux split the critics in two. Some found it brilliant, edgy and unsettling. I left after half an hour, not because I couldn't stand it (I couldn't) or because there was a completely unnecessary (offscreen) dog beating, but because Reygadas's weird lens thing (like looking through a Coke bottle) was giving me a headache. It reminded me of Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights, which I didn't like either. Interestingly, Arnold was on the jury, so maybe she saw the similarities too. (Damon Wise)
And we like how this Daily Astorian journalist has phrased the following in an article about a local teacher taking a literature course at Oxford this summer:
The most English literature comes in Billett’s 10th-grade honors English course, including Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” and “A Tale of Two Cities” and Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights.” [...]
After completing the course at Oxford, Billett will travel to English locales such as Yorkshire, hometown of 19th century literary sisters Charlotte (“Jane Eyre”) and Emily (“Wuthering Heights”) Brontë. . . (Edward Stratton)
Lovely - Yorkshire, hometown of the Brontës. We see that as their new slogan.

The Brontë Parsonage Blog posts about Tracy Forster's Brontës' Yorkshire Garden. The Brontë Sisters mourned the death anniversary of Anne Brontë yesterday. Potluck Suicide didn't like Jane Eyre 2011 while Flickr user LAVIsujiro has been inspired by it. Flickr user Dermotk has uploaded several pictures of Haworth and the moors.
