CBR lists 'Ryuichi Sakamoto's 10 Best Film Scores' and one of them is his Wuthering Heights.
5 Wuthering Heights (1992)
Known for marking Ralph Fiennes' film debut, the 1992 adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights features one of Sakamoto's most mystically enchanting and spiritually expressive film scores. The lingering flutes and windswept chimes are sweet and romantic yet hint at a well of darkness underneath to reflect Heathcliff's cruel and unforgiving nature.
While this version of Wuthering Heights may not be the absolute best version of the heartbreaking romance movie in terms of faithful adaptations, it has arguably the best and most memorable soundtrack of any cinematic version to date. Sakamoto's mastery of creating ambient moods from one scene to the next is second to none, lending a rollercoaster of emotions that capture the highs and lows of the characters. (Jake Dee)
The Times says goodbye to TV presenter and University Challenge quiz show host Jeremy Paxman who's retiring. One of his best anecdotes as quiz show host was this one:
Paxman was left head in hands by an Imperial College contestant who, when asked which romantic figure, created by Charlotte Brontë, had been played by Timothy Dalton and Michael Fassbender, guessed that it was Inspector Clouseau. (Alex Farber)
We are rather tired of clickbait headlines playing fast and loose with the truth. Infobae (in Spanish) has an article on Anne whose headline claims that 'one of her sisters was jealous of her so she altered her works'.

AnneBrontë.org marked the anniversary of the death of Anne Brontë yesterday with a post on 'The Sunset And Death Of Anne Brontë'.
