Wuthering Heights director regrets not showing Margot Robbie’s ‘extremely hairy armpits’
Emerald Fennell says period-realistic scene emphasising Cathy’s lack of razors was shot but did not make final cut
TL;DR
- Director Emerald Fennell regrets a scene showing Margot Robbie's character with "extremely hairy armpits" was cut from "Wuthering Heights."
- Fennell believes period adaptations often inaccurately portray women as hairless.
- The "skin room" concept involved potentially creating a paint color based on Cathy's skin and using close-ups of Robbie's wrist veins.
- The "fish scene" involved Robbie sticking her finger into a real fish's mouth, a decision driven by the character's "sexually frustrated" state.
- Fennell describes her directorial style as embracing "embarrassing" and "cringe" elements to counteract societal fear of earnestness.
- She is taking time off to focus on personal activities and is developing a new, "depraved" film project.
