Slow acceleration One of the weirdest adaptations. When you watch it, there is a desire, like Agafya Tikhonovna, to attach the nose of one actor to the face of another and the character of a third. The interpretation is quite canonical, while with excellent expression, which is often lacking in film adaptations. But, for God's sake, why does the actor playing Heathcliffe - the embodiment of the idea of "a pale young man with a gaze burning" - have the face of the forty-too shabby Count Cagliostro performed by Nodar Mgalolibvishvili? Why did you choose a frankly ugly lady with a completely modern face for the role of Isabella, which should be at least cute and fresh? Why does Katherine Jr. look like a subret in a furry wig, and Garton look like a downtrodden dog? It's a monstrous game.
But it seems that nowhere else has it been shown how much shifted Katie’s psyche is after the fateful explanation with Heathcliffe. And the expression already mentioned is the same, real, highest standard. Plus carefully preserved the canvas of the story of Garton and Catherine, which is often neglected. Well-motivated is Heathcliff's transformation at the end. The film, taking an unsuccessful start, by the end accelerates and ... takes off!
