TIFF 2011: Four Stunning Clips from Andrea Arnold’s ‘Wuthering Heights’
After retiring from her career as a television presenter, Arnold studied directing at the prestigious AFI Conservatory in Los Angeles and trained in screenwriting at the PAL Labs in Kent. She won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film for Wasp, in 2005. Red Road is the first instalment of Advance Party, a planned set of three conceptually-related films by different first-time directors made my list of the best films of the decade – as did her follow up Fish Tank. Now she’s back taking on Emily Brontë’s classic novel while following her bracing portraits of female desire in her two previous works.
The Toronto International Film Festival runs September 8 – 18th
