VHS Movie Reviews of Howard's End
Movie Review: an over-rated Merchant-Ivory film
Summary: 3 Stars
I have usually found that most of the Merchant-Ivory films tend to be over-stuffed, perfectly dull costume dramas which are usually redemned by a fine cast. This film ,unfortunately, is not the exception like "Room with a View" or "The Remains of the Day" which were at least compelling. Unless you're an Anglophile, there will be little to interest you except for the excellent acting of Emma Thompson in her Oscar winning performance and Anthony Hopkins. In fact there were very few scenes in this Best Picture nominee that resonated in my mind like the Oscar winner that year, another period piece, "Unforgiven". Better to watch "Masterpiece Theatre" than this dull film.
Summary of Howard's End
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 FineDrama VHS Video
