The movement of the dress's fabric through the grasses in the opening is really a tour de force of movie making. It established immediately a mood. One of my favorite moments in film and was such an unexpected sequence.
One of the best movies of all time...beautiful houses,scenery, actors....and story..
I loved this movie, I've seen it many times, and always find something new in it.
One of my most favourite movies! Everything is quite perfect. I could watch it every month.
One of my most adored films with fabulous Venessa Redgrave ,
Cannot get enough of Howard’s End

I have always loved Merchant, Ivory and Ruth collaborations. They are all cinematic geniuses, they don’t make classic cinema like this anymore.
This film is a rollercoaster of elegance, good taste, refinement.
I absolutely adore this movie love love love the movie!❤️
I wanted to actually visit this house after having seen the movie way back in the early 90s. It would be a dream. I saw this year that it had sold a couple of years ago for 7 millions euros. If only I had the money. SIGH...
One of my top 3 movies I ever watched. Film is surreal!
Mr Ivory, I love your film Howards End.
Just now have i watched it goddamn greatest thing I've seen in a long time
Nothing like this fabulous movie! Well, except The Remains of the Day! At one point I owned both movies on video; then disc; now I only have “Remains...” in digital format. Merchant & Ivory pulled the BEST out of each actor; they became those characters. Fabulous!!!
Marvelous films that honor the novels and here, we learn how the great screenwriter made some adaptations.I also appreciated the remake of Howard’s End in four parts viewable on Starz.
i just re read the book and watched the film again. both are brilliant. timeless. full of beauty and wisdom
My favorite movie after Room with a view.
Me too!
me too... all the Merchant Ivory productions are beautiful! Interesting that at 90-something James Ivory did the Screen play for Call me by your Name and WON the Oscar! This house is enchanting.
I concur with your sentiment.
Australia
Same here
One of my favourites, never forgot it after seeing it at the cinema all those years ago. I found a dvd copy in an op-shop last year and grabbed it ♡
This is a wonderful interview, such humility and intellect.
The block in Victoria Square that stood in for Wickham Place is still just as it was in the film. No. 6, the Schlegel's house, sold not long ago for £5.5 million.
and a beautiful home it is ...So glad it wasn't demolished
Thank goodness. Its a beautiful home and neighborhood.
I am so relieved to read this.
The E M Forster years; best adaptations ever. Class.
So good to see the legendary James Ivory looking so well.
I have the utmost respect for you Sir, it would be a great honour to meet you in person.
May God bless you.
Samuel West was superb as the clerk...
Oh, Thank you so much for this. I enjoyed it and look forward to seeing Howard's End again. Also, I believe I will look into more of the works mentioned.
Very nice.
Literally heaven watching this -- yes, richer and sharper. Howard's End love it x
I've seen all 3 films and I loved them. I love period films , especially british period pieces . Great interview , many thx.
Watching on May 1st 2021. Beautiful!
Fascinating interview, novel, and film.
I was in love with Howard's End. It opened my mind to possibilities and suggestive thoughts and feelings. The characters were all lovely in their own right or wrong, real people with real feelings expressed, sometimes awkwardly. I was just in love with the movie. And the music screamed "love me!" I know they have made a new one, which I have not seen. Can any thing be reproduced, that was so great? That was so brilliant?....e
The newer miniseries is nice but this version is just a bit more magical.
I wish they had interviewed Emma Thompson for this documentary since she played the lead and won an Oscar for it.
I want to live at Howard's End.
tough
@@Marcel_Audubon wow. You are nasty, full of negativity.
Me too, do you want to go halves?🙂🐿
@@poorthing first day on the internet, sweetpea? that's your idea of nasty and full of negativity? truly laughable
@@Marcel_Audubon every comment you make is negative. Everyone else is just lovin on the film, buttercup.
He’s right about that car scene - it is so vivid in the book. I thought it was in the film!! I guess it’s not.
that was so very enjoyable - thank you
Vanessa Redgrave reminds of a Pre Raphaelite beauty
Just wonderfully interesting talk about an exceptional book and what was made of it.
for a kitty, you are most insightful. thank you for your precocious statement!
I loved the movie, but it took me a while to get around to the book. I finally read Howards End in Turkey -- on my Kindle, mostly on the Metrobus in Istanbul, going back and forth. I need to read the book, and see the movie, again.
The 1992 film version is excellent. I'd say it was second only to the "A Room With a View" film adaptation from Merchant/Ivory. The recent BBC adaptation just couldn't match it.
I absolutely adore the latest BBC adaptation!
@@tomkent4656I dont think Remains deserves to be compared since it’s not adapted from EM Forster
This is cool! As to the very first question... letters are not exactly filmable! So they filmed stuff rather than - what - show a letter on screen? I didn’t think that was a great question but it did evolve to some good conversation. I love Howards End!
I assumed Mr Ivory was British
I need to see in 70 mm in Portland or Seattle
I’m sorry that Forster had troubles in his time... I love the politics and human-ness of these stories
Very interesting.
As to the omitted scene of Charles’s driving accident, does anyone share my suspicion that he had really run over a child, and not a dog? In the book the dog is suddenly changed to a cat, in the hope that Margaret will become less upset. It has always made me who or what was really killed.
The uncertainty is deliberate, Forster was a master.
This film and book have more facets than any other , it is the complete film as you can say its indicative of the whole of society and of what makes us human, only other film I can think of that has that feel of, the inability to pinpoint its
only meaning, is Thelma and louise, another great movie..I hate it when its talked of as just a feminist film , it is so much more.
Is this worth watching? Like what issit abt
I have nothing acute against 'Unforgiven' but I still can't believe it took best picture over 'Howards End'. And that Tony-Pierce Roberts did not take the award for Best Cinematography... come on...I've seen 'A River Runs Through It' and though I admire his work in 'Dangerous Liaisons' and think he SHOULD have been nominated for 'Henry and June', I just don't think his work in 'River' trumps Roberts'.
I hope Vanessa was at least nominated for the Oscar? Wasn’t she truly Ruth Wilcox? A masterpiece. I wonder what lesser movie robbed it of the Oscar.
Yes, Vanessa was nominated for best supporting actress for this film; Marissa Tomei won the award that year for "My Cousin Vinny". Clint Eastwood's great film "Unforgiven" won the best film over "Howard's End" that year.
Kaddish seems to like the sound of his own voice too much.
Did Vanessa Redgrave really add anything to the film? She wanted her salary doubled before she took the role.
Just to straight things up: Vanessa thought she was being offered the role of Margaret, hence in want of a higher pay. She took the role anyway only to realize much later in the dressing room when she was informed by her hairdresser as she was about to receive the grandma makeover. 😂
Not sure I can agree about Forster having little understanding of the working class, given that one of his longest and most serious relationships was with a police officer.
I agree with you. Being British, being educated at boarding schools out of necessity rather than choice (and therefore being a Leonard looking in at the lives of the Helens & Margarets) and studying this book at A level left me with an impression of Forster’s masterful depiction of the working class being objects of curiosity & playthings for the sisters, rather than equally created human beings simply dealt a different hand in life. Forster’s use of true life grit rather than Disney fairy dust illustrates a better understanding of all the classes for me, not less.
That was in 1930 though, way later than Howard's End (and way later than all his famous novels which were published in his lifetime). This seems to have ended his writing career, as many of his earlier novels seem to have been based around the tension between snobbery and reality. Once he had proved the reality to himself, maybe there was nothing to discuss.
Costumes...make the movie...
Simpsons ( Department store and Restaurant is or was...on Piccadilly not The Strand... Just a point and anyway it no longer exists. Its a Waterstones book shop now...So sad it was so very elegant .
Simpsons in Piccadilly is now a bookshop, but Simpsons in the Strand is the famous and still open restaurant
No, it's still open as a restaurant located in The Strand. At least as of 2019, we were still able to enjoy traditional roast and try the fish pie (traditional menu amazingly unchanged).
Simpsons on The Strand is fabolous. Gordon Ramsay I think. But the roast and full English are spectacular.
James Wilby was one of the worst actors in the history of film. How did he keep getting parts? nepotism? blackmail? anyone know?
Another negative comment from you.
Glad you aren't a casting director.
What part did he play ....Charles Jr?
@@VLove-CFII yes, Charles Wilcox.
He plays an A hole very well.
@@poorthing possibly, but part of a casting director's job is to say, "no!" to the mediocre. James Wilby would not have made it into any film I was casting. He can't act.
@@VLove-CFII it's hard to tell what part he played coz he plays the exact same character in every film he's in.
Love them all.....All the Ivory / Merchant movies are fantastic.... Cannot wait !
