Abstract

The sheltered and clearly eccentric Emily adores her younger sister Anne (Amelia Gething), whose extravagant imagination dovetails with her own, and older brother Branwell (Fionn Whitehead), a painter and aspiring writer who strives to live by romantic ideals. We know relatively little about the woman who wrote Wuthering Heights, but Frances O'Connor's directorial debut, Emily--which blends fact with fanciful fiction--paints a haunting and sympathetic portrait of the person she might have been. Emily, who died at age 30 in 1848, is the most mysterious Brontë, partly because Charlotte, who survived her, appears to have exerted some control over her life story. [Extracted from the article]
