Synopsis

A melancholic retelling by Jacques Rivette of Emily Brontë's classic love story in which the doomed lovers are transported from the Yorkshire moors to 1930s France. The passionate and vengeful Heathcliff is now Roche and Cathy becomes Catherine. Parts of the tragic tale have been streamlined and updated with Rivette’s own personal touch.
