Fennell’s #wutheringheights has far too many scenes indoors and misses the point that the moors are not only a crucial setting in the novel but its most important character. Sylvia Plath gets it better in her poem “Wuthering Heights”

Venus as seen by Japan's Akatsuki space probe on April 25, 2016. At the time this photo was taken, Akatsuki was located approximately 50,000 km above the Venusian cloud tops. This image was assembled using near-UV and near-IR photos to create a pseudo-true color view. My procedure for creating this image exaggerates the coloration and detail visible in the clouds, which show very little detail in the visible portion of the spectrum.

I don’t need to see a calendar
my heart already knows it’s spring
watching the sunrise
    silently
                    with
                             you
          sing                 listening
                            to a
             solitary
  robin
