Being an Authentic Person

 The West Australian interviews Frances O'Connor about her film, Emily:

Yet O’Connor’s interest in the true tale underpinning Wuthering Heights wasn’t purely academic — there was something deeply personal reflected in the story of Emily’s life.

As played perfectly by Mackey, we see Emily struggle to reconcile who she is with who she’s supposed to be, and how this battle for identity shapes the relationships around her.

It’s a battle O’Connor herself has fought and, one suspects, not always on the winning side. (...)

Which is why O’Connor feels “very lucky” to have found a wonderful collaborator in Mackey to play the pivotal role in Emily.

“She really wanted the part,” O’Connor says. “She loved Emily Brontë the same way as I do, and I really felt like she had something she wanted to say in the part, and that’s really potent and a great thing to have in an actor who’s going to really hold that character through a really strong, long trajectory.

“It’s a very challenging part. (Emily) starts kind of childlike and you don’t even really recognise her by the end; she’s become a woman, she’s strong, and she knows who she is at the end.

“The whole film rests on what that performance is going to be, and the whole film is about being an authentic person, so it was important to find someone who’s authentic and real, and Emma is that in real life.” (Ben O'Shea)

The film appears in the year's British cinema recap published on the BFI's website:

However, it was the presence of some remarkable feature debuts, and films from emerging filmmakers, mostly women, that provided the surest signs of renewal in British cinema this year. Frances O’Conner’s revisionist Brontë biopic Emily benefited from an intense lead performance by Emma Mackey in a demanding role; Sight and Sound critic Leigh Singer was delighted that its “creative rewriting of emotional truth hits the heights for which it strives”. After rave reviews at Toronto, it was released in October. (Pamela Hutchinson)

The film is reviewed in Tiroler Tageszeitung (Austria). 

Collider interviews the actors of the TV series Kindred:

Christina Radish: Ryan, when you play a character like this, how do you approach him? Do you try to understand him, as opposed to sympathizing with him? He’s a man who clearly has some insecurities, and he seems to find strength and power in brutalizing people. How do you wrap your head around that, when you’re trying to figure him out?

Ryan Kwanten: I can’t pass judgment. That’s how I start with it. I don’t want to categorize him as this or that. Yes, there are certain attributes that he most definitely has. Like you said, there’s a callousness to him, a righteousness, and a pridefulness. I think it was Emily Brontë that said, “Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.”

Somerset Live lists some Christmas ghosts and, basically, invents one in Haworth:

Writer's wraith
Location: Haworth, Yorkshire
The spirit of Emily Brontë, author of Wuthering Heights, haunts the grounds of the Haworth parsonage, according to legend.
Her ghost is said to return to the Brontë family home every December 19 – the date she died in 1848.
Appearing with her head bowed as in deep thought, she suddenly vanishes if anyone comes too close. (Erin Santillo & James Evans)

Derbyshire Live tells the story of the entrepreneur Rob Hattersley who owns two hotels in Derbyshire:

"As we were coming out of the second lockdown, I was approached about The George Hotel, in Hathersage. The George was the one that I always wanted originally, it's a great opportunity with the location, the building itself is over 500 years old and has links to Charlotte Brontë and we decided to go for it." (Jonathan Chubb)

Revista Bula (in Portuguese) recommends Jane Eyre 2011:

Os cenários duros, gelados e escuros reforçam a estética gótica do filme que, por escolha do diretor Cary Joji Fukunaga, não recebeu apoio de iluminação justamente para não interferir nas cores frias e sombrias da ambientação. O inverno é tão rigoroso, que nem a primavera altera a saturação das cores. O castelo é localizado em uma região tão distante, que sequer havia linha de telefone no lugar e a equipe teve que posicionar uma pessoa com um walkie-talkie em um local com acesso ao mundo exterior, caso alguém precisasse de algo.
Um romance byroniano para aquecer os corações mais lúgubres, o filme não é o que se espera de uma história de amor comum do cinema. O desenvolvimento é lento, os diálogos são complexos e a imaginação do espectador terá de conduzi-lo, já que a própria relação entre Jane e Rochester é muito discreta e há raros momentos de paixão, porque ela fica mais subentendida que demonstrada. O filme disputou o Oscar de melhor figurino pelo trabalho minucioso de Michael O’Connor. Vale também ressaltar a primorosa e apaixonante trilha sonora de Dario Marianelli, (Fer Kalaoun) (Translation)

La scrittrice Emily Brontë nel suo capolavoro “Cime Tempestose” ha scritto: “Lui è me più di me stessa. Di qualunque cosa siano fatte le nostre anime, la sua e la mia sono le stesse”. Sogniamolo e desideriamolo un amore come questo… ne abbiamo bisogno. (Francesco Pira) (Translation)
