No one ranks the relative attractiveness of the Bront\u00eb sisters on a scale out of 10, or attempts, bustle be damned, to twerk. Yet despite lacking all markers of the recent trend for girlbossified costume drama, the directorial debut from O\u2019Connor \u2014 an actor who is no stranger to corsetry herself after \u201cMansfield Park\u201d and \u201cThe Importance of Being Earnest\u201d \u2014 gives us a strikingly current take on the Bront\u00eb behind \u201cWuthering Heights.\u201d Unlike many a literary biopic, it feels anything but pagebound. If \u201cEmily\u201d were a book, however, it would be a fresh reissue of a Penguin Classic, with its timeless orange cover unobtrusively updated to be crisp and covetable all over again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In attentively reimagining Emily Bront\u00eb as a new woman unluckily born into old days, O\u2019Connor\u2019s chief ally is her star, Emma Mackey. At first, Mackey\u2019s modernity seems almost like miscasting, and not just because the actress is most familiar from Netflix\u2019s self-consciously <em>au courant<\/em> \u201cSex Education.\u201d Her gaze seems too direct, her jaw too firmly set to sit easily in the demure environs of rigidly respectable 1840s country life. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But that quickly becomes the point, with Mackey able to convey simultaneously that this is all the world her character has ever known, that she loves it deeply, and that she is entirely bewildered by it. Most of her interactions are clouded by incomprehension at why things that are so clear to her should seem so peculiar to everyone else. In a fit of frustration at her unworldiness, Emma\u2019s elder sister Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling, by turns sweet and severe, like a peppered strawberry) tells her that she is called \u201cthe strange one\u201d in the village. Being ahead of your time, while you\u2019re still living through it, looks a lot like simply being out of your time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Emily even faints wrong, as she does in the opening flashforward, not swooning delicately but crumpling under her own weight, needing to be shuffled to a couch by Charlotte and Anne (Amelia Gething), the youngest, peacemaker sibling.\u00a0 While Anne rushes to find their father (Adrian Dunbar), an unyielding but not unkind local rector, Charlotte tries to prise the secret inspiration behind Emily\u2019s \u201cbase, ugly\u201d novel from her. \u201cWhy is it so hard for you to believe that your sister might have written something of merit?\u201d Emily whispers. And so O\u2019Connor, working from her own unflowery screenplay, slyly acknowledges the paradox of a film that wants us to believe Emily Bront\u00eb had a vivid enough interior life to have wholly invented \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d \u2014 but also that, in some part, she lived it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Because \u201cEmily,\u201d as well as illuminating Bront\u00eb\u2019s close, conspiratorial relationship with her wastrel brother Branwell (\u201cDunkirk\u2019s\u201d Fionn Whitehead), details an ahistorical, torrid romance between the author and her father\u2019s curate, William Weightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). (The real Weightman was romantically linked to Anne, not Emily, meaning poor old Anne gets short shrift once again compared to her more famous sisters.) Weightman\u2019s first sermon, in which he talks in sensual Byronic language about loving the wildness of the area and of God being \u201cin the rain,\u201d is amusingly implied to set the loins of the lady congregants a-quiver. But not Emily\u2019s. Observing Charlotte\u2019s attraction to the man, Emily warns her that he is not to be trusted. But when Charlotte leaves for a teaching position \u2014 at a school that also briefly employs Emily before she is sent home again, overwhelmed \u2014 Emily and Weightman grow closer, over French lessons that turn into spirited, unsubtitled French-language sparring sessions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Of course their fling, portrayed with surprising sexiness, cannot last. And Branwell\u2019s decline into alcoholism and drug use, coupled with Charlotte\u2019s increasing embrace of the primly respectable real world over the liberated imaginary kingdoms the siblings created as children, causes Emily pain. As well as a doomed romance, the film is also a singularly moving investigation into the mechanisms of sibling relationships that are forged in soulmate-style love, but tinged with rivalry and spite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    DP Nanu Segal\u2019s photography is pretty but not prettified, and integral to the contemporary vibe. The subtle shake of the elegant, handheld camerawork becomes more pronounced outdoors, as though caught in the blustery dampness of the moors outside Haworth parsonage, the Bront\u00eb residence. Inside, the camera, dim with cloud-filtered daylight, settles pensively into rooms scuffed and unfussy, without a hint of chintz, sometimes pulling a trio of faces into a circle of candlelight out of a pure black background. Set to Abel Korzeniowski\u2019s exceptional score, which is tempestuous and classical but frays at the edges into scraping violins, the filmmaking at times borders on the expressionistic, without ever betraying the traditional period form.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Bront\u00eb purists may quibble with the futzing of the timeline. Here, Branwell dies just before Emily writes her legendary book, not after; the unmentioned \u201cJane Eyre\u201d is implied to have come later again, when in fact it was the first Bront\u00eb novel to be published; and Anne never so much as picks up a quill. But O\u2019Connor\u2019s well-modulated debut doesn\u2019t pretend to be a faithful recreation of the facts of the Bront\u00ebs\u2019 lives. Instead it succeeds on a much trickier level, giving us a psychologically vivid Emily who did not write \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d because a real-life romance unlocked her passionate nature, but whom we\u2019d love to imagine having had such a grand affair, because she was always the woman with \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d inside her.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
