Now I think about it, perhaps Cathy being driven to a breakdown by lack of economic independence and denial of personal autonomy while Heathcliff is unstinting in his cruelty and personal vengeance is indeed a story for our times, but the romcom vibe of the movie press tour still jar a bit
Not seen the film (yet?) but went back to Wuthering Heights today for the first time in 30 years and reminded that Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar called it a "bible of hell". What an odd story to sell with Margot Robbie wearing beautiful dresses.
