Black is black

Sight & Sound, the venerable magazine of the BFI, is not a publication famously known for its sense of humour.

So we should be eternally grateful to Magnus Charles of Oxford for his Reader's Letter in the latest edition of S&S which provides a rare laugh in between the usual earnestness.

He writes: "Could it be that Andrea Arnold's unprecedented decision to cast a black actor as Heathcliff in her adaptation of Wuthering Heights was down to a basic misunderstanding of the meaning of the term 'the Yorkshire Moors'?

Funny one, Magnus.
