Director Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank, Red Road) brings new life to Emily Brontë’s moorland classic tale of obsessive love and class division. In Brontë's novel, a Yorkshire farmer on a visit to Liverpool finds a homeless boy on the streets and takes him home to live as part of his family at their isolated moorland farm. The boy develops an all-consuming relationship with the farmer's daughter, and provokes jealousy and resentment from her brother.

Although paying due respect to the original, Arnold’s interpretation is radical, not least in its casting of young unknowns in the lead roles. Equally original is the film's breathtaking visual style; it's unlikely you will ever have seen the Yorkshire Moors so bleakly and beautifully captured on film.
