Wuthering Heights

Based On the book by Emily Brontë

Wuthering Heights (Japanese: 嵐が丘, Hepburn: Arashi ga oka) is a 1988 Japanese Gothic jidaigeki drama film written and directed by Yoshishige Yoshida. It is based on the 1847 novel of the same name by Emily Brontë, with the setting transplanted to the Muromachi period of medieval Japan. Yoshida's film adapts both halves of the novel, unlike other adaptations. Wuthering Heights was a French-Swiss-Japanese co-production, and shown in competition at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or.
