Rudy Flower I also think that Feinnes is the only actor to be able to capture the real Heathcliffe. We just got Netflix, which is why I watched it again the other night for the first time since its release, and now I'm going to read it, again! :-))
Tim Fouraker All of our lives of watching and reading this classic but, I could never find that dark intensity described of Heathcliff with the Laurence Olivier version, infact, I feel he's quite wooden in it. I also like the 1970 version with Timothy Dalton but, this Ralph Fiennes/Juliet Binoche is defo my favourite.
Couldn't agree more, one of my favourites! Fiennes was brilliant, Binoche a little wooden in parts, but still good. His pain from losing her is so convincing, that my throat tightens every time I see it! The scene where he breaks in to see her on her death bed, then later on in her coffin...oh man!
If anyone here ever has the chance to visit West Yorkshire, especially if you are a Wuthering Heights fan, please do so. It is one of the most amazing places, and incredibly atmospheric. I had the pleasure of visiting not long after watching this film, and the music was in my mind all the time!!
The first time I listened the music of Mr. Sakamoto was in the film Wuthering Heights, I was a girl who hadn't read the book, and barely understood the plot or story of the film, but this music, it haunted me well past the ending of the film. I felt it in my heart, in my soul, and it never leave me. Years later I became an admirer of Mr. Sakamoto's work solo and with YMO , and discovered many great artists that admired him as well. I'll be forever thankful for the magic and beauty he gifted us. Thank you, Maestro.
Rip Ryuichi Sakamoto, this was the first composition i heard from him. So magical and haunted like the movie. His music will live until humankind cease to exist on earth.
Raw, dark, cruel. That's why I love this. Beautiful. My friend asked me what it is I love about Wuthering Heights, because the characters are problematic. They definitely are. But instead of problematic I like the term conflicted much better. Cathy was very egoistic, but she still loved Heathcliff. Heathcliff was shaped by the things people did to him and he was cruel, very cruel, but he still loved Cathy. Their love for each other is what makes them so conflicted, but Cathy decides to act rather on her own comfort than on her feelings which destroys Heathcliff, because he would entirely give into Cathy. They are both miserable, but they are just human. They are no white nor black. Grey characters in their truest form. Love it.
In context - The book was writen in a time were women were "advised"/Forced to marry wisely (for comfort and provision for future offspring). They could not take loans and buy properties in their own name. They relied on marriage and inheritance for support. They were not permitted to have personal choice or marry just for love. Thus (being poor)Heathcliff goes away to make his fortune. But on his return " The man from Gimmerton". Is too late. @nil. Cathy was far from egoistic You are viewing the story through 21st century eyes.
@@doradora5547 This is a great historical perspective of society's restrictions of women on their OWN lives!......I've loved this story and the various movies for years. (Especially the 1971 version with Timothy Dalton & Anna Calder-Marshall, with the score by Michele Legrand).
Yes, I agarre with You. I LOVE THIS MOVIE TOO. Their Love went far beyond. Not Even death could sepárate them. I could watch THIS MOVIE so Many times and still Love ir, ir doesnt bore me. 😍👍♥️♥️
I love everything Ryuichi Sakamoto has ever done, but I think this is his finest work. And Fiennes is the most haunting all of all Heathcliff performances.
So dramatic, so romantic, so dark.. the music is spot on. This movie has the best Heathcliff. The music made an impact and is the reason why this movie stayed hunting my soul for years.
The scene when Heatcliff breaks into the Chapel where lies the body of Catherine, he grabs her lifeless body, cries and the beautiful song becomes dramatically stronger is to break anyone's heart. 💔
Rest in peace, Mr. Sakamoto. Thank you for inspiring me to make music and to learn the tin whistle. Your music will continue to inspire many for ages to come.
"I believe - I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always - take any form, drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”
I'm texting on my husband's phone. He passed away just 17 hours ago. I'm still in denial. Are love story was not a fairy tale but he treated me like a queen. And I alway couldn't believe he wanted me. 48+ years together he showed me that he truly loved me. 💔
Fiennes' performance and Sakamoto's score are the two entities that made this adaptation great. Without the combination of both of those things, this film wouldn't have been half as good.
So sad to hear that he passed away...a movie wouldn't be nothing without a good soundtrack and when it captures the essence of the whole story it remains immortal forever. And that's exactly what he did for this adaptation. Thank you forever for such a masterpiece 💔
One of the most hauntingly beautiful soundtracks of all time!! Many film themes are beautiful, but after a day you forget them. This one stayed in my mind for weeks after....
Haunting, ethereal and passionate. This is a perfect soundtrack for this movie. It has flaws, but I can't resist Sakamoto's score - or Ralph Fiennes' Heathcliff! So tortured, passionate and, oh my, those eyes!!!
He WAS the best in my opinion. It's actually a very hard part to play, as Heathcliff is such a complex mess of emotions...rage, bitterness, passion, anguish and undying adoration....but Ralph got every facet of him perfectly. He was brilliant, and I agree 100% with a reviewer who said he didn't so much as play him, as inhabit him. Hell of a performance.
@@janesgems7 I agree with you. Taking aside that only the last movie made justice to Heathcliff's ethic background it's indeed Ralph Fiennes performance the most accurate to what I imagined Heathcliff to be while reading the book (haunted, raw, bitter at the world and the circumstances he was brought on, cruel and visceral) A really deep and powerful character that Ralph brought to life so amazingly.
This soundtrack is the proper embellishment for the gothic and mystical romance vibe of movie. The best ever movie adaption for me of wuthering heights.
This movie was amazing I read the book and when I watched this movie it was like reading the book. The darkness of the book is like a shadow glimmering in this film. I’ve seen several adaptations this one is my favorite. The music is stunning
@@NourIreksousi - every now and then this music pops into my head. That's what brought me here tonight....I had to hear it. This one and the theme from "The Red Violin"...omg.
I visited the West Yorkshire moors for the first time recently...and this music was going through my head all the time. I have been back several times, and will again. I can almost see these versions of Heathcliff and Cathy there.
I really love the way the flute is played, really dramatic and deep, almost like crying loud. Seems to be a perfect allusion to sadness and loneliness.
This is the most unforgettable theme music to me.... the first 90 seconds especially is perfection, and feels like it draws out the whole landscape of Wuthering Heights. This movie is the best version in my view.
Ive been fascinated by this piece of art ever since Id known it. I can not utterly express it by words. I cant describe the feeling in my heart and soul when I hear it. Its just magic beyond every expression. Its as if I lived the story myself that time ago ever in my past life. I identify myself with this music.
To be so consumed by a violent passion for one woman, to the point of despising all others for not being her...You've never lived until your soul has died in want of another...
I think it stemmed from Heathcliff's background; he had very little love until Earnshaw adopted him, he loved the old man but on his death, all he had was Cathy. They were inseparable, but Cathy's meeting with the Linton family, and her discovering a life of wealth and privilege destroyed everyone. Losing her, first to another man, then to death, turned Heathcliff into an embittered monster who lived only for revenge....and as so many sadly do, found out that it wasn't sweet after all. He ruined the Lintons, but it brought him no pleasure. One of the most heartbreaking stories ever written. You can hate Heathcliff, but I also found it impossible not to pity him.
I love this movie, it is exceptional at bringing out the real elements in Wuthering heights: the darkness, the gothic, the doomed loved. I love this soundtrack too..so haunting and beautiful at the same time.
The music made this movie ... IT GAVE THE AUDIENCE THE TRUE ELEMENTS THAT DROVE THE NOVEL ITSELF INTO BEING WHAT IT HAS BECOME TODAY ON SCREEN...AFTER WATCHING THIS VERSION, I HAVE LIVED WITH THE CHARACTERS IN MEMORY THROUGH THE HAUNTING STRAINS OF RYUICHI'S JAPANESE FLUTE, AND THE DEEP MELODY OF THE VIOLINS FUELING THE ENTIRE SCORE ON SCALES OF FOREBODING CADENCE....In my opinion it's the most wonderfully chosen score for this movie...!!!
I love this movie, the sound track is amazing, the actors were fantastic, and the story is dark and troubled, I love it. This movie is one of my all time favourites, the music is my hauntingly beautiful and a bit scary, all of which compliments an already fantastic book. This is the best version of this story to date.
Absolutely! I thought Fiennes' performance was the most true to the character as he was written in the book of all actors who played this role. Olivier was magnificent, of course, but his Heathcliff was a sensitive man you could feel sympathy for. Not Fiennes. You can see why this role got him the part of Amon Goeth in "Schindler's List."
The use of flutes to mimic the wind is just genius. There's a number of beautiful japanese takes on uk artworks. The remains of the day is one for example. This is another. If I remember correctly there's a japanese version of wuthering heights somewhere, set in medieval japan.
Thank you so much for posting this. This music has been deeply ingrained in my soul ever since I saw this movie the first time in 1995. I was obsessed with this song. I even bootlegged the end credits from TV on my dad's mini-cassette voice recorder, because I could not find the soundtrack anywhere in Virginia, and we didn't have internet at my home yet! I remember how many emotions this music made me feel. And it still has that power. It's truly brilliant, and perfect for this movie.
After reading the book, which is such a masterpiece, you don't get to experience the same intensity with any of its adaptations, but I must say that I loved this movie and the soundtrack is magnificent. Cathy and Heathcliff will always be my favorite characters in fiction, wuthering heights is like looking inside myself, bless Emily brönte.
Beautiful, haunting music. The film is the best adaptation to the book I have seen and perfectly cast but I am still yet to see one that is true to the original dark,brooding book which is my all-time favourite .
I don't care what any one says. This version of wuthering heights will always be my fabulous. 👌👏❤️
Muy cierto 😌
Definitely!!!
I don't understand how people can watch any version other than this...
I love the music also
Plus it is the most one that reflects the true feelings of 2 lovers
The critics hated this film, but I absolutely loved it. Never has there been such a dark, deeply poetical screen version of this classic Bronte Novel.
I loved it, it is one of my favourite versions.

How could SAKAMOTO understand so deeply this amazing film being an Japanese men. ONLY SAKAMOTO COULD MAKE THIS WONDERFUL AND TOUCHING MUSIC.
BECAUSE LOVE DOESN´T HAVE ANY COLOURS OR NATIONALITY.. PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE NOT OPEN MINDED. SAKAMOTO WAS ALWASY OPEN MINDED
Nobody has captured this book more perfectly than they have, along with Sakamoto's music. My favorite adaptation.
Fiennes will always be the definitive Heathcliff for me.
@@janesgems7 Yep. Same.
Have you seen Timothy Dalton? Tv version, he was superb.
@@sorayaraza5827 Yes, first version I saw, and next to Fiennes, he was the best.
The best version of the book, the best cast and the best soundtrack.

Very well put.
Does anyone find it odd that Heathcliff and Linton as broken-hearted adults actually get each other before Linton dies?
In context - The book was writen in a time were women were "advised"/Forced to marry wisely (for comfort and provision for future offspring). They could not take loans and buy properties in their own name. They relied on marriage and inheritance for support.

He just passed last week... rip Ryuichi Sakamoto...
I love everything Ryuichi Sakamoto has ever done, but I think this is his finest work. And Fiennes is the most haunting all of all Heathcliff performances.
yes and yes
Ralph Fiennes was the best
Yes. Right there with Amon Goeth
Absolutely ...he WAS Heathcliffe Dark moody and cruel....
@@cazm8019 Far truer to the novel. Olivier was brilliant, but his Heathcliff had more humanity
So dramatic, so romantic, so dark.. the music is spot on. This movie has the best Heathcliff. The music made an impact and is the reason why this movie stayed hunting my soul for years.
Rest in peace, Ryuichi Sakamoto. 🖤 His genius shall live on in masterpieces such as this.
Rest in peace, Mr Sakamoto, this theme has been haunting me ever since I first heard it
So sad that Ryuishi has passed. Remembered always with his beautiful haunting music. Rest well 😢
Regardless of which version you prefer, one thing is certain; this version has by far the best soundtrack.
Yes, I was on the moors yesterday...and this tune was going through my head all the time.
The version in your heart...
Absolutely.
I just love this music This was and always will be the best version of 'Wuthering Heights' Dark, earthy, cruel ...as the book..Just wonderful x
RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto (17 January 1952 - 28 March 2023)
The scene when Heatcliff breaks into the Chapel where lies the body of Catherine, he grabs her lifeless body, cries and the beautiful song becomes dramatically stronger is to break anyone's heart. 💔
spoiler alert!
Can't watch that scene without crying...do you hate the monster...or the one that made him?
I cry every time
I cried, Best Love story ever!
All the abuse he suffered...but he never cried. Not once. Until then.
the movie, the music, just awesome.....and 2 boxes of tissues later I want to watch the whole movie all over again....excellent...
RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto. A true genius of his craft.
I do not pay attention to critics! I loved this version. The soundtrack was hauntingly beautiful.
Rest in peace, Mr. Sakamoto. Thank you for inspiring me to make music and to learn the tin whistle. Your music will continue to inspire many for ages to come.
Rest, no need for a genius.... He will be already, or soon, working in the subtle dimensions as an imortal spirit. Much light and love with him!
Best version ever, haunting music score and brilliantly acted by Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche ❤️
I absolutely love this version of Wuthering Heights. Fiennes performance is brilliant. The score is haunting.
That is the best music for the novel, “The Wuthering Heights”. Thank you, Prof. Sakamoto. May his name be remembered.
The ice dance pair of Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier have chosen this piece for their free dance season 2023 - 2024. Beautiful fully haunting music 🎶
RIP Mr Sakamoto. You truly composed a score that encapsulated the essence of Wuthering Heights.
