Two hundred years after the author’s birth, Lily Cole – an admirer of Bronte’s work – explores her world and the groundbreaking novel she produced, Wuthering Heights

Emily Brontë was just 30 years old when she died 200 years ago, having completed just one novel. It turned out to be a special one, because although Wuthering Heights was indifferently reviewed on its release, its insights into the insanity of romantic love have made it an enduring classic. Actress Lily Cole looks at Brontë’s strange life

The Independent

An engaging film

The Guardian

Cole’s gone boldly on and made this thoughtful documentary about the fascinating Emily Bronte…This film is a love letter to Emily Bronte, her seductively flawed characters and her heart-shattering depiction of love, death and passion
