Sex Education star plays Wuthering Heights author Emily Brontë in steamy, romantic not-so-biopic

abc.net.au/news/emily-movie-review-emily-bronte-biopic-starring-emma-mackey/101801744That most tempestuous English literature classic, Wuthering Heights, has been adapted countless times since it was first published, in 1847.

O'Connor brought a spunky, strong-willed edge to her character not present in the literary original — qualities inspired by her creator's own disposition — but she has always thought of herself more of a Brontë gal, preferring the work of Emily , soBrontë's teacher Constantin Héger described her as having "a head for logic and a capability for argument, unusual in a man, and rare indeed in a woman".

"I was interested in telling a story about a young woman trying to form herself and what she is is different from the people around her," O'Connor told the ABC. And Emily reveals itself to be unconcerned with total factual accuracy in the opening scene, as its heroine lies dying with her only novel beside her in three chunky tomes. They are embossed with her name – and yet, Wuthering Heights was originally circulated under the pen name Ellis Bell , her identity revealed only in a posthumous edition.

It is by these means that O'Connor infuses her film with the kind of intrigue that is missing from the remaining traces of her subject's life.
