Wuthering Heights (1992) by Mike Southon

Here, both the second generation of Earnshaws and Lintons are portrayed, and it is also interesting that the director chose to cast Juliette Binoche in a dual role, as Heathcliff´s tortured love, and also her own daughter. Though this version has suffered at the hands of critics and purists alike, I consider this one of my favorite adaptations of ´Wuthering Heights´, mainly because of Ralph Fiennes´ credible characterization of the tortured anti-hero. Heathcliff is such a complex character and one not easy to like, considering the cruel and callous way he treats those around him, even manipulating his own son for his twisted notions of revenge. But, despite all this, Fiennes´ portrayal invites our sympathy - his deeply rooted love for Cathy and his insurmountable grief at losing her is so credibly conveyed that one can´t help but sympathize with him and understand his motivations, however misguided they may be. The movie is beautifully filmed with stunning cinematography, and the score suits the somber storyline. This may not be considered a classic adaptation of Bronte´s masterpiece, but it certainly was compelling for me.. And summed up by saying Ambitious adaptation - Fiennes´ smoulders as Heathcliff. Currently Wuthering Heights (1992) has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
