British Brontës

All very British today as the Global Times focuses on the British films being screened at the Shanghai International Film Festival (16-24 June):

British films make a strong showing at this year's Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF, June 16 to 24). The seven films being screened are Wuthering Heights (2011), Fish Tank (2009), Another Year (2010), We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011), Nowhere Boy (2009) and My Week with Marilyn (2011) and I, Anna (2012) (Hu Bei)

While Intelligencer has a few British reading suggestions:

Many of the most popular and enduring classics come to us from the pens of British writers. If the thought of reading a classic fills you with memories of high school English class, banish those thoughts and read a great British author. You can spend time with the spirited Miss Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice; walk through  Cranford with the village ladies in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Cranford Chronicles; or wander on a windy moor with Cathy Earnshaw in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. Lose yourself in the world of these beloved authors and their timeless characters. (Ann Nicol)
