    I Love the 92 version. It's brilliant. And the sound track by Ryuichi Sakamoto a perfect fit. I saw this movie by chance on a local tv. it was a winter stormy winter night and i got tell you that story meant a lot os sense. years later i bought the dvd and still felt the same thrill. so i'm a little curious just to see how miss portman goes to portrait Catherine Earnshaw, a role that suits so well on Juliette Binoche and who could co-star as Heathcliff. Love and revenge at is best.
