The edition of the novel used throughout this book is based on the authorita- tive 1976 Clarendon edition of Wuthering Heights, edited by Hilda Marsden and Ian Jack. This authoritative edition is based on the first edition of Wuthering Heights rather than the second edition published in 1850, which included changes made by Charlotte Brontë to her sister’s novel. 2. There have been numerous other studies on screen adaptation that have guided my own reading on the subject, including: Leitch (2007); Elliott (2003); Cartmell and Whelehan (1999, 2007b); Hutcheon (2006); Welsh and Lev (2007); Geraghty (2008); McFarlane (1996); Cahir (2006); Wagner (1975); Stam and Raengo (2004, 2005). 3. Please refer to the Appendix of this book for a full list of known Wuthering Heights screen adaptations. 4. I have not found any significant analyses of the 1985, 2003 and 2009 adap- tations, apart from reviews and publicity on the Internet. Stoneman lists Hurlevent in the Appendix to Brontë Transformations (see Stoneman, 1996a, pp. 315–6), but does not analyse it in the body of her work. To me, this high- lights the extent to which Rivette’s Hurlevent could not be integrated into Stoneman’s discussion of the mainly American and English adaptations. I feel that the film’s different approach however, in fact highlights the ideological processes at work in the other adaptations of Wuthering Heights. 1 Before the Afterlife: Analysing Wuthering Heights 1. There are two characters named Catherine in the novel and in some of its screen adaptations: the elder Catherine, who is associated with Heathcliff and the first generation of characters, and her daughter, the younger Catherine, who is associated with the second generation. To avoid confusion, I will be referring to the elder Catherine as ‘Catherine’ and the younger Catherine as ‘Cathy’ throughout this book. 2. It is worthwhile to point out that Emily Brontë was familiar with the works of the Romantic authors. See Gordon (1989, pp. 86–94) for details regarding the literary influences of the Brontës. 3. A notable example is Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem Epipsychidion, to which I shall return in more detail in Chapter 5. 2 The Cinema of Spectacle: Establishing the Wuthering Heights Tradition on the Eve of Hollywood’s Golden Era 1. No copy of the film is known to exist, with only a few photographic stills surviving. 207 208 Notes 2. See Glancy (1999, pp. 70–1) for statistical information regarding Hollywood ‘British’ films of the 1930s and 1940s. 3. Refer to my discussion on Heathcliff in Chapter 1 of this book for further discussion on nineteenth-century discourses of ‘heroic masculinity’. 3 Moving Backward, Looking Forward: Jacques Rivette’s Hurlevent 1. The literal translation of Hurlevent in English is ‘howling wind’. While it is possible to read this title in a metaphoric manner, the title of the film seems to be more practical in meaning. Hurlevent is the standard translation for Wuthering Heights in French, as the title appears in numerous French transla- tions and adaptations of the novel. It seems that Rivette is here simply using a title for his film that would be recognisable for a French audience as a refer- ence to Brontë’s novel. 2. Please refer to the Appendix for full details about these adaptations. 3. The Garrigue is a type of scrubland in the regions of Provence and Corsica. 4. The actress who plays Catherine is Fabienne Babe who, along with Lucas Belvaux, the actor chosen to play Roch, was specifically selected because of her age. Rivette details in his interview with Hazette how he wanted to make an adaptation of Wuthering Heights in which the actors would be the same age as Catherine and Heathcliff in the novel. See Hazette (2003, n.p.). 5. All dialogue transcriptions are my own as there is no available copy of the film’s screenplay. 6. For more detailed discussions on the region of the Cévennes in relation to France’s religious history refer to Deming (1994), Randall (2004), and Kelly (2003). 7. Wuthering Heights was adapted into ballet in France in 1982, 2002 and 2007, with numerous performances. It was adapted into ballet in England in 2003. 8. Poe the ‘literary god’ is largely the product of his French critics, one of the most noted ones being Charles Baudelaire. For illuminating discussions on the issue of Poe’s status in French culture see Weightman (1987, pp. 202–19) and Quinn (1967, pp. 64–78). 4 Wuthering Heights in the 1990s: Peter Kosminsky’s Ambitious Narrative 1. Hereafter, the film shall be referred to as Wuthering Heights. Since there are two Catherines in the film, as in the novel, I will be using the same method to differentiate between the two Catherines as used in my analysis of the novel, by referring to the elder Catherine as ‘Catherine’ and the younger Catherine as ‘Cathy’. 2. Dialogue transcriptions are my own, as the only available screenplay of the film is the shooting screenplay, which differs vastly from the actual final product of the film. I have therefore chosen to concentrate on the dialogue in the film itself rather than the screenplay. 3. Ingham is quoting Francke (1992, p. 60). Notes 209 4. The issues which Monk discusses here are also raised in McFarlane (2001, p. 277). 5. It is important to note that I do not believe that women or femininity are inherently tied to nature, nor that nature itself is an unmediated site that is the antithesis of culture. Rather, I am here engaging with Gilbert and Gubar’s feminist argument and the manner in which the film reworks such feminist arguments. 6. Haire-Sargeant is here referring to the elder Catherine as ‘Cathy’. The allu- sion to ‘Hammond’ is a reference to the 1978 BBC television adaptation of Wuthering Heights, directed by Peter Hammond. See the Appendix for full details regarding this adaptation. 7. The film’s opening inter-title claims that it ‘remains true to the spirit of Emily Brontë’s novel’ by demonstrating that ‘love can only be fulfilled through death’ and that ‘instincts and passions’ are ‘timeless’. This is, of course, a rather familiar mode of decontextualisation of the novel that func- tions alongside overt misogyny in the film. 8. For example, see Anonymous (1991); Heller (1991, pp. 16–17); Paramount British Pictures Limited (n.d.b); Wall (1992b); Matthews (1992, p. 33); Hewitt (1991); Hickling (1992, p. 11). 9. For example, see Aldridge (1992, n.p.); Bark (1994, pp. 1C–7C); Meuller (n.d., p. 34); Verity (1991, p. 40); Matthews (1992, p. 33); J (1992 (n.p.); Hutchinson (1992, n.p.); Hardy (n.d., n.p.); Diamond (1992, pp. 16–17). 10. Lee is here referring to the elder Catherine as ‘Cathy’. 11. Lee is here referring to the elder Catherine as ‘Cathy’ and the younger Catherine as ‘Catherine’. 5 Catherine and Heathcliff for the Y Generation: MTV’s Modernisation of Wuthering Heights 1. All dialogue and narration transcriptions are my own as there is no available copy of the film’s screenplay. 2. For example, see Cohen (1997, pp. 30–1); Coates (1997, pp. 52–3); Leonard (2007, pp. 24–5, 32–3); Shuker (2001, pp. 115–37); Knightley (2001, pp. 109–42). 3. The lyrics have been transcribed from both the film itself and the soundtrack to the film.

    BAMcinématek announces the world theatrical premiere run of Jacques Rivette‟s long-unseen, 13- hour masterpiece OUT 1: Noli me Tangere (1971) in a new restoration, Nov 4—19 “The cinephile‟s holy grail.”—Dennis Lim, The New York Times The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor of BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Aug 11, 2015—BAMcinématek announces the world theatrical premiere run of Jacques Rivette’s long-unseen masterpiece OUT 1: Noli me Tangere (1971), screening in a new DCP restoration courtesy of Carlotta Films US from Wednesday, November 4 through Thursday, November 19. The restoration and reappearance of Jacques Rivette’s legendary magnum opus brings this long- impossible-to-see, 13-hour masterpiece to the big screen. Over eight episodes shot on 16mm, a cast of French New Wave icons improvise a spellbinding tale based on Honoré de Balzac’s History of the Thirteen, involving two theater troupes rehearsing Aeschylus, a female con artist (Juliet Berto) who seduces her victims, and a deaf-mute (until he speaks) busker (Jean-Pierre Léaud) on a quest to uncover a mysterious secret society. As the characters’ paths crisscross and the film’s puzzle-box structure—including one 45-minute take—grows ever more elaborate, a portrait of post- May 1968 Paris and its dashed dreams emerges. The result is a cinematic experience unlike any other, in which, as Rivette himself put it: ―the fiction swallows everything up and then self-destructs.‖ An unfinished version of OUT 1 premiered at the Maison de la Culture in Le Havre in 1971 before being edited down to the four-hour OUT 1: Spectre.

  • 1 Wuthering Heights (William Wyler, 1939; Robert Fuest, 1970; Jacques
    1 Wuthering Heights (William Wyler, 1939; Robert Fuest, 1970; Jacques Rivette, 1985; Peter Kosminsky, 1992) Wyler’s ghastly sentimental version concedes nothing to the proletariat: with the exception of Leo G. Carroll, who discards his usual patrician demeanour and sports a convincing Yorkshire accent as Joseph, all the characters are as bourgeois as Sam Goldwyn could have wished. Not even Flora Robson as Ellen Dean – she should have known better – has the nerve to go vocally downmarket. Heathcliff may come from the streets of Liverpool, and may have been brought up in the dales, but Olivier’s moon-eyed Romeo-alternative version of him (now and again he looks slightly dishevelled, and slightly malicious) comes from RADA and nowhere else. Any thought that Heathcliff is diabolical, or that either he or Catherine come from a different dimension altogether was, it’s clear, too much for Hollywood to think about. Couple all this with Merle Oberon’s flat face, white makeup, too-straight nose and curtailed hairstyles, and you have a recipe for disaster. We’re alerted to something being wrong when, on the titles, the umlaut in Emily’s surname becomes an acute accent. Oberon announces that she “ is Heathcliff!” in some alarm, as if being Heathcliff is the last thing she’d want to be. When Heathcliff comes back, he can of course speak as high and mightily as one could wish – and does: and the returned Olivier has that puzzled way of looking straight through a person as if they weren’t there which was one of his trademarks (see left): for a moment the drama looks as if it might ratchet up a notch or two.

  • Download Peter Kosminsky's Citation
    PETER KOSMINSKY My Lord and Chancellor, Peter Kosminsky is an eminent TV drama director and writer whose critically acclaimed work has for many years addressed strong social and international issues. He describes himself as ‘an old-fashioned programme maker’ for whom ‘TV is about informing as well as entertaining’. Peter read Chemistry at Oxford, and to this day the detailed research and the intellectual rigour which inform his writing owe much to his scientific background. He joined the BBC in 1980 as a general trainee, one of four graduates taken from a field of several thousand applicants. This was what he calls the ‘glory route’: television was doing new and brave things, particularly in drama, and attracted many applicants of the highest calibre. As a very political student, Peter had been inspired by Jim Allen and Ken Loach’s Days of Hope (1975); he was greatly moved by this story of the labour movement between the end of World War 1 and the General Strike in 1926, but he also saw the power of the medium and wanted to be involved. From the start of his TV career his main creative influences were Loach himself, Les Blair and other film, television and theatre directors whose work was strongly informed by social and political awareness. All Peter’s work stands in the same high-minded radical tradition. He first came to prominence in 1990 when he directed Shoot to Kill, a four-hour drama detailing the government cover-up of the Stalker Enquiry which set out to establish whether there was a ‘shoot to kill’ policy at work in Northern Ireland.

  • Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly
    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.
