Howards End (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Summary The Pinnacle Of The Decades-long Collaboration Between Director James Ivory And Producer Ismail Merchant, Howards End Is A Thought-provoking, Luminous Vision Of E. M. Forster’s Cutting 1910 Novel About Class Divisions In Edwardian England. Emma Thompson Won An Academy Award For Her Dynamic Portrayal Of Margaret Schlegel, A Flighty Yet Compassionate Middle-class Intellectual Whose Friendship With The Dying Wife (vanessa Redgrave) Of Rich Capitalist Henry Wilcox (anthony Hopkins) Commences An Intricately Woven Tale Of Money, Love, And Death That Encompasses The Country’s Highest And Lowest Social Echelons. With A Brilliant, Layered Script By Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (who Also Won An Oscar) And A Roster Of Gripping Performances, Howards End Is A Work Of Both Great Beauty And Vivid Darkness, And One Of Cinema’s Greatest Literary Adaptations.

Howards End is E.M. Forster's beautifully subtle story of the crisscrossing paths of the privileged and those they disdain--and of a remarkable pair of women who can see beyond class distinctions. Dramatic and tragic, but also surprisingly funny, this James Ivory film focuses on a pair of unmarried sisters (Emma Thompson, who won an Oscar, and Helena Bonham Carter) who befriend a poor young clerk (Sam West) and, without meaning to, ruin his life. Meanwhile, Thompson also makes the acquaintance of a dying neighbor (Vanessa Redgrave), who leaves her a family home in her will--which her husband (Anthony Hopkins) destroys. But, ironically, he meets and falls in love with Thompson, even as their paths once more intersect with the increasingly miserable young clerk. Nuanced acting, gorgeous but muted cinematography, and a beautifully economical script by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, which also won an Oscar. --Marshall Fine
