What a great performance from this actress. She really captures the Catherine of the novel! But I don’t get why this version and the 1939 version portray Nelly as an older matron like figure; in the novel she’s the same age as Hindley and is like a foster sister to Catherine initially. She’s supposed to be a mother figure to young Cathy and Hareton, but not the elder Catherine. In spite of that this is by far the best screen adaptation of Wuthering Heights because it captures the tone, mood, themes, and characters so well!
If only Heathcliff had stayed long enough to hear the rest. Although if he did the story would end. Wuthering Heights has a certain grip on me. And if he just stayed he might not have become so wretched. And had a child named Cathy.
I find Juliette Binoche way too tamed and cheerful to play Cathy. She's always lauģhing or whispering, and when she comes back at the end, she looks more like a saint than a ghost. Cathy is supposed to be creepy, a wild child and a spirit who haunts everyone, even in her lifetime. Juliette Binoche is more like a loving dove than a rabid dog, so I find the BBC version much better... still I don't understand why they chose a white Heathcliff, but i would say their Cathy is perfect.
Watch the 1992 version with Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes. By far the best version I've seen. They cut out some of the text, but the emotion and heartbreak and everything about it, is absolutely consuming and beautiful and tragic. Seriously, watch that version. Binoche and Fiennes can convey so much, with a simple look. It's spectacular. Watch THAT version, and you'll see real acting.
I recently watched this version for the first time. It's great. I'm glad that the scene with Heathcliff and Catherine peeking in the Linton's window is the only version that plays it right. In the book, when they do this they are VERY young teens...Catherine, in fact, has not yet reached her 13th birthday! All the other versions have the adult actors looking in the window...which, in my mind, is rather creepy, even for people who grew up pretty much isolated! The other versions have a grown man and woman looking in a neighbors window,uninvited. This version uses the younger actors for that scene, which is more faithful to the book, and makes more sense.
some great, very natural characters in this version, like lockwood, nelly dean, heathcliff, joseph, cathy etc. no other version is so faithful to the book and has that wildness about it. hard to get.
I really liked Lockwood. He was played wonderfully by Richard Kay who also was memorable as Willie Weightman in The Brontes of Haworth 1973. I am hoping to see 1967 with Ian McShane soon.
kittengirlmaryann yes, I dont understand why she’s always portrayed as an old woman .. she’s about the same age as Hindley ..just a bit older than Catherine and Heathcliff
Kay is a wonderful actor as is Pat Heywood, however the best scene is later on with Cathy's descent into madness, the bedroom scene when Cathy said she saw a ghost in her looking-glass.
I have this version on DVD and it is the most true version. However, as it is quite old the set walls move when people shut the doors and you can see the persons wacking the windows with the tree branch at the beginning.
I agree 100% Nelly has to out live all the chacters in the book, exept for cathy#2 and Harton. I recomend you pick up the the contining story of Wuthering Heights. The book is titled" H". The story of heathcliff's journey back to wuthering Heights by Lin Haire-sargeant. In this book it tell how Nelly kept a letter Heathcliff wrote to Cathy of his Three year abscence and return. the book is out of print but I found it. If you love wuthering heights. You will love this.
The 1992 version with Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes is there best version by far! It's beautiful and heart breaking and consuming. You want to see real acting, it's there.... with just a look between them. Also the score is mesmerizing. Hands down best version ever.
I agree with you...why isn't a version with Ellen the age she appears to have in the book, at least apparently as they do with Cathy and others? They are really good, tough!
What a great performance from this actress. She really captures the Catherine of the novel! But I don’t get why this version and the 1939 version portray Nelly as an older matron like figure; in the novel she’s the same age as Hindley and is like a foster sister to Catherine initially.

Both Heathcliff and Catherine are insane in their own ways. I don't know why but I love this so much
that part is the heart of the novel.
or the turing point
If only Heathcliff had stayed long enough to hear the rest. Although if he did the story would end. Wuthering Heights has a certain grip on me. And if he just stayed he might not have become so wretched. And had a child named Cathy.
I haven't seen this version, bur for fuck sake that woman is the best Catherine of all time.
Aida Cailar she really is ❤️
I agree this Cathy is the best. Others I have seen seem to be a bit tamed where as this one has that wild air about her which is captured perfectly.
xane1990 ❤️
1992 version.... the absolute BEST EVER. Seriously. Juliette Binoche, Ralph Fiennes.... my god...

This was the best "I'm Heathcliff" speech I've seen so far. I really want to watch this version now.
Agree. I hate the 2009 version where they even put Heathcliff in Nelly's place talking to Cathy

i think it s poor, Tom Hardy s is better
@@kristagemini didnt like it
@@kristagemini i agree👍
The most faithful version to the original story
Wow what excellent acting by this Cathy; Never seen this version. I must see this entirely.
MSE. Dzirasa ❤️
Agree - but where can we buy this version?
mette holm you can find it here on youtube
It's a BBC TV series...I bought the dvd ! It's a fine version...very true to the novel....
this is the 1978 version of wuthering heights! beautifully enacted!
It’s by far the best version and truest to the book - I was smitten when I watched this aged 14 - nothing to touch it since.
I can't believe how they didn't see Heathcliff. He was standing there in front of them!!!
Jajaja.
Es una broma?
Es una escena muy absurda.
This gives me goosebumps... the actress is very good as Catherine.
Nelly is only 6 years older than Cathy...why is she always depicted as old?
The only version showing Nelly the same age as Hindley is WH 1970, starring Timothy Dalton.
I recently watched this version for the first time. It's great. I'm glad that the scene with Heathcliff and Catherine peeking in the Linton's window is the only version that plays it right.

Nelly - same actress who played the nurse in Romeo and Juliet (1968)
The bestt portrayal of cathy
Nellie is way too old though! She and Cathy and Hindley played together as children, she should be nearly the same age as them!
kittengirlmaryann yes, I dont understand why she’s always portrayed as an old woman .. she’s about the same age as Hindley ..just a bit older than Catherine and Heathcliff
This 1978 version is the best
Kay is a wonderful actor as is Pat Heywood, however the best scene is later on with Cathy's descent into madness, the bedroom scene when Cathy said she saw a ghost in her looking-glass.

The acting is good. The camerawork is weird though. It’s like the recording of a Theater play
Oh, she's good.
Lucky you - tell her she is the best Cathy of the lot!
I agree 100% Nelly has to out live all the chacters in the book, exept for cathy#2 and Harton. I recomend you pick up the the contining story of Wuthering Heights. The book is titled" H".

You will love this.
This version is better than any other
I have never been fond of Wuthering Heights, but this was perfectly good acting!
Kay Adshead was my director of an acting show i did she is awesome and a pleasure to work with
Anastasia Chatzimanoli ❤️❤️
This actress and Ralph P would make the ideal movie.
Kate Bush brought me here!
Great scene ..great acting
You should watch 1992 version...
The 1992 version with Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes is there best version by far! It's beautiful and heart breaking and consuming. You want to see real acting, it's there.... with just a look between them. Also the score is mesmerizing. Hands down best version ever.
But the book isn’t complete in the film
@@helenmartin6270 That happens with most book to film adaptations. A lot of a book can be lost.
I agree
Also can you tell me were I can pick up The BBC version of wuthering Heights? I need a little assistance.
You can buy it on line now as a bbc dvd. I waited for years until it was eventually released 😊
ah, the typical BBC's granny cinematography
This is much better and more real, it’s like seeing it live.
Well I love granny kino so...yeah
Have u seen the 970 version coz Nelly is young in that.
Hahaha heathcliffs got the hump now hahahaha its funny.i want to watch all of this version but dont know of any credible websites i can watch it on

Yes

I agree with you...why isn't a version with Ellen the age she appears to have in the book, at least apparently as they do with Cathy and others?
They are really good, tough!
