The newest adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic is generating significant buzz, while splitting viewers into proponents and fierce critics of Emerald Fennell’s interpretation. However, this isn’t the director’s first experience – her earlier works also sparked intense reactions.
Fennell’s debut feature, Promising Young Woman, unfolds the narrative of 30-year-old Cassie, determined to seek vengeance for her friend, who was assaulted by a group of college students. The film, featuring Carey Mulligan, garnered both an Oscar and a BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay.
The follow-up film in Fennell’s portfolio, Saltburn, centers on Oliver (Barry Keoghan), a young man from a middle-class background who cunningly ingratiates himself into a friendship with the charming Oxford student Felix (Jacob Elordi) to access his elite family. The film, reminiscent of The Talented Mr Ripley, achieved nominations for both Golden Globe and BAFTA awards.
Both films are essential viewing for admirers of Fennell’s Wuthering Heights. Here’s where you can catch them.
