Cromwell serves king and country while navigating deadly political intrigue, the King’s tempestuous relationship with Anne Boleyn (Claire Foy) and the religious upheavals of the Protestant reformation.

  • Wuthering Heights [1992]Wuthering Heights | DVD | (22/12/2003) from £7.05   |  Saving you £8.94 (126.81%)   |  RRP £15.99

    Peter Kosminsky's 1992 adaptation of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights goes to the extreme of casting Sinead O'Connor in a brief bit as Bronte herself, but the film still doesn't approach the accomplishment of William Wyler's classic 1939 production (with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon) or subsequent versions by Luis Bunuel and Robert Fuest. That doesn't make it unwatchable, however: it still offers The English Patient costars Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche as doomed lovers Heathcliff and Cathy. Binoche is a bit washed-out, but Fiennes makes a strong impression as the rejected labourer who makes his fortune and exacts a vengeance. Unlike Wyler's film, this one covers all the chapters of Bronte's book, but it is sodden with misery and lacks all grace. --Tom Keogh

Unsure if he is being used by the establishment he is soon forced to question where his loyalties really lie; with his family and friends or the country of his birth Britain.
