Wuthering Heights, about a doomed love story btwn Catherine and Heathcliff on the moor, has been done to death. #AndreaArnold ‘s version, with mostly handheld, painterly full frame and no artificial light cinematography, accompanied by wind, mud, rain & sun-flare mixed with blood, sweat & tears, is simply stunning. It never recovers from its breathtakingly gorgeous first half where young Heathcliff and Cathy run around on the misty moor. You just wish it went on like that. #wutheringheights

It is revealed in Q & A after the show that Arnold didn't give actors the whole script. She fed them little by little on short notice and also a lot was improvised. Indeed, Fish Tank doesn't feel premeditated. The film is both raw and delicate in its presentation and performances. Katie Jarvis's Mia acts tough and is childish. But by the end, we feel she is too smart for the circumstances makes her out to be and remain hopeful for her. #michaelfassbender, #britishcinema #andreaarnold #scotland
