Wuthering Heights
Arnold's recent project based on Emily Brontë's novel from 1847 stars Kaya Scodelario and James Howson. This is the first film that Arnold has directed that she did not write herself, though she did co-write the screenplay. Originally, the film adaptation was set to be directed by Peter Webber, who directed "Girl with a Pearl Earring", but Arnold was asked to take over the project and gladly accepted. The film was shot in 18 months, which is half the amount of time Arnold used to shoot Red Road and Fish Tank. Oscilloscope Laboratories picked up the North American distribution rights to the adaptation, which won Best Cinematography at the Venice Film Festival in 2011, being praised for its visuals.

Famous quotes containing the word heights:
“We shall make mistakes, but they must never be mistakes which result from faintness of heart or abandonment of moral principles. I remember that my old school master Dr. Peabody said in days that seemed to us then to be secure and untroubled, he said things in life will not always run smoothly, sometimes we will be rising toward the heights and all will seem to reverse itself and start downward. The great thing to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever upward.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
