Other human traits in the design include a table with a hair curtain and the walls of Catherine\u2019s Thrushcross Grange bedroom, which are made to look exactly like her skin. To accomplish this, Davies printed a picture of Margot Robbie\u2019s arm directly onto pieces of fabric, which were then covered in stretched latex to create wall panels. \u201cIn that final top shot [of the film], you can see her veins on the carpet too,\u201d reveals Dirickx. Does the sweat pouring from her walls make more sense now? Not only that, but in one scene, tiny prop leeches suck on the walls as well as on Robbie\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

Can you spoil a nearly 180-year-old tale? Well, anyway, after Catherine\u2019s first taste of colour and comfort at Thrushcross Grange, she marries Edgar Linton and moves in. You\u2019d think that escaping the prison-like Wuthering Heights (where the ceiling in the kitchen purposefully encroaches upon Jacob Elordi\u2019s six-foot-five frame) would bring her happiness, but her longing for Heathcliff takes hold and doesn\u2019t let go. \u201cWhatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same,\u201d she famously says. She is a prisoner all over again in her new surroundings, and this is represented in the sets. In the library, a lamb sits encased in glass. At dinner, Catherine absentmindedly sticks her finger into an aspic mould with a fish in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Other human traits in the design include a table with a hair curtain and the walls of Catherine\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256731,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[15592,14652,127731,156,409,111,139,69,5290],"class_list":["post-259072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-culture-lifestyle","tag-digital_syndication","tag-entertaining","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-textabovecenterfullbleed"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
