The latest adaptation of Emily Brontë’s novel is causing a huge buzz, while dividing viewers into fans and staunch opponents of Emerald Fennell’s vision. But it’s not the director’s first rodeo – her two previous films evoked strong responses as well.
Fennell’s feature debut, Promising Young Woman, told the story of 30-year-old Cassie, on a mission to avenge her friend who was raped by a group of college students. The film, starring Carey Mulligan, won an Oscar and a BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay.
The second film in Fennell’s career, Saltburn, focuses on Oliver (Barry Keoghan), a young man from a middle-class family who wheedles his way into a friendship with handsome fellow Oxford student Felix (Jacob Elordi) to get close to his aristocratic family. The flick, whose plot bears more than a passing resemblance to The Talented Mr Ripley, received Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations.
Both are a must-watch for fans of Fennell’s Wuthering Heights. Here’s where you can see them.
