The latest film version of Wuthering Heights is doing its best to ensure that everyone will go and see it just to say Eeeeuw!

According to The Guardian:

The film reportedly opens with a public hanging in which the “condemned man ejaculates mid-execution”. The crowd react orgiastically, and a nun “fondles the corpse’s visible erection”.

Ken Russell would have been proud. Even The Devils didn't offer this spectacle.

Apparently, one viewer at the test screening reported 'clinical masturbation'.

Speaking at the Sands film festival in Scotland, [casting director Kharmel] Cochrane said there was “no need to be accurate” as the source material is “just a book”.

Why not just make a porn flick? Surely that's an easier place to go for clinical masturbation? Or go to an all night cinema where you can see it up close.

That would be a lot easier that than trying to highjack 'just a book' literature to create some kind of highbrow titillation?

But then again, FNN is sure that it's all being done 'in the best possible taste' as Kenny Everett might say.
