CBR posts about the most iconic forbidden movie romances:
Wuthering Heights is a Moody Adaptation of a Classic Forbidden Love
The forbidden romance between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff might be Romeo and Juliet's worthy successor, grim and hopeless as it is. There have been many attempts to adapt Emily Brontë's groundbreaking Wuthering Heights novel (and Emerald Fennel is directing a new one soon), but Andrea Arnold's 2011 movie stands out as the most iconic yet. The movie covers the turbulent romance between the rebellious Heathcliff, a young orphan rescued by Mr. Earnshaw, and his foster sister, Cathy, an unstable girl from the moorlands.
Arnold's adaptation delivers a contemporary spin on Cathy and Heathcliff's obsessive love story. The quivery cinematography blends into the film's bleak moodscape, capturing the inner turmoil that consumes the main characters. Wuthering Heights is a tragic, revolting romance about two people who never learn how to love, but their commitment to their unwavering passion — as incomprehensible as it is — reveals the beautiful, indomitable nature of love.
