Emily
Surely you know who Frances O’Connor is, a familiar face to fans of British period dramas, having played Fanny Price in Mansfield Park (1999) and the main character in Madame Bovary (2000).
So it seems appropriate that she makes her debut as a screenwriter and director with this biopic of Emily Brontë, which takes many creative and amusing liberties to portray the famous author as a rebellious outcast who defies the conventions and restrictions imposed on women of the time to pursue her passion and write the international success that was Wuthering Heights.

Avantages (France) recommends pocketbooks:

Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë

Courageuse, Jane, malgré les malheurs qui lui tombent dessus depuis l’enfance (orpheline, chassée par sa tante, méprisée...) garde un esprit combatif et volontaire. Intelligente, elle trouve un emploi de gouvernante et tombe amoureuse de son employeur. Fière et indépendante, elle ne cède à aucun homme sa liberté. Bref, c’est une héroïne féministe avant l’heure et un personnage follement romantique.(Françoise Feuillet) (Translation)
