SYNOPSIS

The directorial debut from British-Australian Frances O’Connor (Mansfield Park), Emily offers an atmospheric, incisive portrait of Wuthering Heights author Emily Brontë. Transporting cinemagoers to 19th Century England this tale of infinite creativity and desire offers a haunting drama of a young woman’s formidable journey toward discovering her vocation. Emily imagines the transformative, exhilarating, and uplifting journey to womanhood of a rebel and a misfit, one of the world's most famous, enigmatic, and provocative writers who died too soon at the age of 30.
