From The New York Times.

In this scene from the director Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights,” Cathy takes a tour of her new marital home at Thrushcross Grange. But she has more feelings of apprehensiveness than joy.

Cathy (Margot Robbie) has married Edgar Linton (Shazad Latif), and he and his ward, Isabella (Alison Oliver), are overjoyed to be showing their new resident around. The vibes are a little off, however, especially when Cathy arrives at her bedroom, in which the walls match the color of her skin, all the way down to the freckle on her cheek.

“The thing about Thrushcross Grange is it’s sort of designed to be at once kind of beguiling and grotesque,” Fennell said, discussing the scene. “So it was always about talking to Suzie Davies, the incredible production designer, about how to have a sort of uncanny feeling that was sort of subconscious rather than overbearing.”

And how did they achieve those flesh-colored walls?

“In the end, what it was made out of was padded panels with photographs of Margot’s actual skin and veins and freckles printed onto fabric. And then with an overlay of this very thin latex.”

Watch the sequence and find out more about how Fennell and her team pulled off bringing a grandiose eeriness to the setting.
