Oh my, this is one horny movie. Over the top? Yes. Trashy? Kinda! But there's no doubt about the commitment here to really focus on the infernal power of Heathcliff and Catherine's desire -- let's face it, lust -- for each other. If you're looking for faithfulness to the book you won't find it here, especially in the second half. But there's something to be said for what the film actually captures. To put it another way, this movie being ridiculous only confirms that the novel is as well. It worked for me, but probably won't work for a lot of purists.
Four steamy carriage windows out of five!
