The tone is appropriate, given Charli’s desire to depart from brat as well as the song’s place on the Wuthering Heights (2026) soundtrack. The film, based on the 1847 Emily Brontë novel, is about a tempestuous, obsessive love story that takes place on the wild moors of Yorkshire, England. The gothic nature of the tale demands an equally gothic soundtrack, and “Chains of Love” certainly fits the bill, using Charli’s signature vocal distortions, autotune, and synthesizer elements to cast a foreboding shadow.

Ahora que se va a estrenar (el próximo febrero) la adaptación cinematográfica basada en la única novela de la escritora Emily Brontë, Cumbres Borrascosas, me gustaría recomendar este clásico de la literatura inglesa y su visión metafísica del destino, la obsesión y la pasión. El invierno invita más que ningún otro mes a volver a los escenarios salvajes, fríos y remotos de Yorkshire (Inglaterra) y revivir la tormentosa historia de amor entre el señor Lockwood -que en el cine interpretará uno de los actores de moda, Jacob Elordi-, y Nelly Dean, que será Margot Robbie.

Modern mass market paperbacks, originally called “pocket books” after the Simon & Schuster imprint, were born in 1939. They sold for twenty-five cents but were scarcely dreadful: The first list boasted The Way of All Flesh by Samuel Butler, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie, Lost Horizon by James Hilton and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Since then mass market paperbacks have dominated the publishing landscape with sales in the incalculable billions. (D.D. Degg)

This classic novel explores the intense, complex relationship between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, an orphan adopted by Catherine’s father, leading to revenge that spans two families. Published in 1847 under a male pseudonym, the novel shocked Victorian readers with its raw emotion and moral ambiguity. There are no clear heroes here, just damaged people inflicting damage on others.

The Yorkshire moors become almost a character themselves, wild and unforgiving, mirroring the passionate and destructive relationship at the novel’s center. Heathcliff remains one of literature’s most compelling antiheroes, simultaneously sympathetic and monstrous. The narrative structure, with its nested stories and unreliable narrators, adds layers of complexity to what could have been a straightforward revenge tale. (Matthias Binder)

What a delight to be introduced to Irish poets such as Francis Ledwidge, John Hewitt and Patrick Kavanagh and to female poets such as the Emilys: Dickinson and Brontë! (Joe Corrigan)

She’s excited by an upcoming period film, Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of “Wuthering Heights,” starring on-theme veterans Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. “I think ‘Wuthering Heights’ will be our litmus test to see if method dressing will spill over into historically inspired garments,” says [Raissa] 

Bretaña[, fashion historian and lecturer at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology]. “In the past, whenever actors promoted period films, they try to look as contemporary as possible in order to distance themselves.” (Clarissa Cruz)
