'But this is a story and an interpretation. You just kind of have to roll with it'

Express recommends streaming Frances O'Connor's Emily on Netflix, describing it as 'eerie'.

Netflix's period drama Emily is a part-fictional look into the life of Emily Bronte, the author of the literary classic Wuthering Heights, and it has received widespread acclaim

The 2022 British biographical period drama Emily provides a semi-fictional insight into the life of literary legend Emily Brontë.

Emma Mackey portrays the revered author in the film, which was both written and directed by Frances O'Connor in her first directorial venture. The film imagines a romantic liaison between the English novelist and a clergyman named William Weightman.

Boasting an impressive cast including Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Fionn Whitehead, Amelia Gething, Alexandra Dowling, Gemma Jones, and Adrian Dunbar, Emily premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.

Available for viewing on Netflix, the film has garnered Emma Mackey the accolade of 2023 BAFTA Rising Star for her portrayal of the title character. In a 2023 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Emma said: "If you wanna watch a documentary about the Brontës, there are loads and they're great. But this is a story and an interpretation. You just kind of have to roll with it." (Parul Sharma)

'But this is a story and an interpretation. You just kind of have to roll with it'--somehow we would wish that the Anti-Wuthering Heights League on X and elsewhere would take a leaf from that book too.

The Herald recommends '10 zombie movies worth resurrecting' and one of them is a classic:

I Walked With a Zombie

Jacques Tourneur, 1943

Producer Val Lewton’s 1940s low-budget films - often made in conjunction with the director Jacques Tourneur - are a high point in horror cinema - literate, beautifully crafted nightmare movies that both shock and seduce. Despite the come-on of the title this one is a seduction; a dreamy, eerie reinvention of Jane Eyre that weaves voodoo lore into the story. It may be the most beautiful zombie movie; admittedly there isn’t a lot of competition. (Teddy Jamieson)

And the blunder of the day award goes to Festivaltopia, which includes Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights on a list of '20 Songs Inspired by American Literature'.

1. “Wuthering Heights” by Kate Bush

Kate Bush’s 1978 hit, “Wuthering Heights,” is directly inspired by Emily Brontë’s classic novel of the same name. The song takes on the voice of Catherine Earnshaw, haunting her lover Heathcliff from beyond the grave.

Bush was only 18 when she wrote the song, but her theatrical delivery and eerie falsetto captured the wild, gothic energy of the novel. “Wuthering Heights” reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, making Bush the first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written song.

Literature fans have praised her for capturing the emotional turbulence and supernatural tone of Brontë's story, a feat not often achieved in pop music. The song’s lyrics are dotted with direct references to the book, including iconic lines like “Heathcliff, it’s me, Cathy, I’ve come home.” For many, this song was their first introduction to classic literature through music.

It's not even the only definitely non-American inspiration on the list.
