NOTES Two versions: one in English, one in French

Biographical film of those quill wielding sisters. If you get the

chance walk those desolate moors where they lived but avoid

the tourist trap of Haworth.

Disappointing when you consider the cast, the emphasis is on the narrowness of their lives which created such depth of imagination.

I believe it was Branwell their brother who died of tuberculosis.
