In many ways, Wuthering Heights matches Saltburn’s freak. It’s a novel where themes of class antagonism, jealousy, revenge, and infatuations that veer on the macabre, come to the fore. But don’t expect this to be any sort of staid sequel: the book demands discussions on female madness and rage, on unreliable narrators, horror, hysteria, and the supernatural - so ghosts, hallucinations, dreams and visions - feature heavily.But much like Saltburn, there’s more depraved yearning than actual sex; expect visually dense scenes, laden with symbolism and psychologically charged suspense. This adaptation of Wuthering Heights is likely to push viewers to think about reaching the extremes of the psyche… and what happens when a collection of characters (who, frankly, are all a bit too closely related) fail to restrain their turbulent emotions – and what grave consequences unfold.

Cocteau TwinsI got out of London around 2007 or 8. I was trying to create this haven for my new baby, so we moved to this farm in the Peak District. It was a really special time living in this amazing Bronte-esque landscape, quite isolated but feeling really powerful. I’d heard the Cocteau Twins a lot growing up but hadn’t really had their records. So I bought the CD and I totally immersed myself, walking on the moors for hours with my baby, being taken to these other worlds.
“Wuthering Heights”And Indie Dave gets to experience real life almost immediately in the next B-side, “Wuthering Heights”, a beautiful silent comic that is an homage to the Kate Bush song of the same name. Emma Vieceli handles art duties in a style that’s manga meets fantasy landscapes. Unlike the woman in “She Who Bleeds for Your Entertainment”, the female lead of this comic runs, frolics, and dances providing the magical energy for Indie Dave’s journey of self-discovery in the form of a Kate Bush compilation tape. Instead of being cloistered in his room, Indie Dave sets off for the great outdoors with Bush’s ethereal music in his ears and The Dreaming and The Kick Inside in his bag. Indie, artsy music is still his passion and maybe a security blanket, but at least, he’s touching gorgeous Vieceli-colored greensward. (Logan Dalton)
Amy Sutherland: Do you have favorite malas — bad girls — in fiction?Marcela Fuentes: I love Catherine from “Wuthering Heights.” Wow, she’s such a terror. Look at Maleficent, we love her even more than Sleeping Beauty. Ursula from “The Little Mermaid” is one. I don’t know if there are any in Jane Austen’s novels because everyone is too uptight but Libby in “Pride and Prejudice” will tell you off. There’s the housekeeper in “Jane Eyre” and the housekeeper in “Rebecca.” Watch out for housekeepers. There are so many amazing, powerful but villainous women in stories. We might not cheer for them but they are sometimes the most compelling characters.
