Adaptation Wuthering Heights with Margot Robbie offers “uncomfortable” explicit scenes
The next Fennell Emerald Wuthering Heights The adaptation already divides viewers after a testing audience marked the film “sexually explicit” and “tonnementally abrasive”.
According to the film website Coil worldThe story of the classic novel of 1847 by Emily Brontë, which features Barbie‘S Margot Robbie like Catherine Earnshaw and SalinburnJacob Elardi as his love brood Heathcliff, presents several explicit scenes and considerably deviates from source material.
A member of the public during the first test screening for the film in Dallas, who described the film as “aggressively provocative”, said that he had parallels with the “stylized depravity” observed in the provocative comedy of director Fennell 2023 Salinburn.
The film would have opened on a public suspension which descends in absurdity when “the condemned man ejaculates in the middle of the execution”. This apparently sends the crowd to an “orgiac frenzy”, which prompted a nun to “caress the visible erection of the corpse”.
A participant said that there were “deliberately uncomfortable masturbation” scenes, a sexual meeting of bondage involving reins of horses and photos of “suggestive textures”, such as egg yolks, bread paste and slug paths.
You might expect nothing less from Fennell, a director known to have pushed the limits. His latest film, Saltburn, I saw the character of Barry Keoghan, Oliver, quickly drink the water from the Felix Catton bath of Jacob Elordi.

Coil world Writer Jordan Ruimy said it was “the most unusual Wuthering Heights“Still.” What the next cinematographic version required a fresh energy shock, something fat and unexpected. For better or for worse, it seems that it is exactly what Emerald Fennell may have brought to the table. »»
The new film, which will arrive in the cinemas on Valentine’s Day, has already been struck by Brontë fans’ criticism after photos emerged from Robbie wearing an 80-style wedding dress on the shooting of the film.
The casting of Elordi as Heathcliff has been criticized in particular, because the character is described in the book as having dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin.
While the story shows that Heathcliff’s bad Caction in cinematographic or television adaptations is nothing new – the character was played by Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, Ralph Fiennes, Tom Hardy and even Cliff Richard – The cast of Elordi has always raised eyebrows.
Another criticism of Brontë readers is that Elordi, 28, and Robbie, 35, are the bad ages, because their characters are adolescents for a large part of the plot of the book. However, the character Mr. Lockwood also meets Heathcliff 20 years later, when he was around 40 years old.
The film’s casting director Kharmel Cochrane since said that if people were offended by casting decisions, then the conception of sets is “even more shocking”.
“There was an Instagram comment that said that the casting director should be shot,” Cochrane told Sands Film Festival in St Andrews, Scotland, according to Deadline.
“But wait until you see it, then you can decide whether you want to shoot me or not. But you really don’t need to be precise. It’s just a book. It is not based on real life. It’s all art.
“There will certainly be fans lit in English who will not be happy. Wait for you to see the design of the game, because it is even more shocking. And there may or may not be a dog necklace.”
Brontë’s novel follows the relationship between the two families, the earnshaws and the Lintons, in rural Yorkshire around 1770, and the tumultuous relationship between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, an orphan favored by her father.
