  • I'm over the moon for A Room With A View. Helena Bonham Carter and Julian Sands absolutely own me now.

    My favourite film of all time. So nice to hear someone else so passionate about it! Ever since I saw it as a teenager I was in love with it, and Florence. As it happens I’m in beautiful Firenze now 🇮🇹🥰

    You are wonderfully and emotionally involved in this work. I have taken this book as my key piece for my 9th grade class. I hope at least one of my students will burn with the same passions you share. I called my unit "Everyone Deserves A Room With a View". The school is in Estonia!

      Glad you're using E M Forster! Not sure if A Passage to India too much for them but he was ahead of his time on race and class.

    So happy you are blown away by A Room With a View. As I've mentioned before, while we have many common likes, our tastes do diverge sharply from time to time, so I must confess that I share none of your enthusiasm for Tim Burton. I hope you will cover more Ivory/Merchant productions, as a great many of them are, I think, very worthy.

      Thanks, man. The Tim Burton project wasn't planned or intentional. It's my way of working through personal stuff. Burton also forces me to be less enthusiastic and more critical sometimes, which is a fun difference for me.
      I'm really considering exploring more of Ivory's films. I must confess, I'm a bit unknowledgeable about his work. I loved A Room With A View and I'm very curious about some of his other films.
      I like that our tastes sharply diverge from time to time. :) It's nice when we agree but it'd be so boring if that's all we did.

      Add on: Truth be told, if it wasn't for my recent Tim Burton project, I probably wouldn't have looked into Helena Bonham Carter's backlog and saw A Room With A View. Just an interesting side-note.

    it's one of my all time favourite films!! so good. I've watched it so many times I've lost count. and that moment in the field...with Puccini's "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta" used here. There couldn't be an aria more perfect for the scene. The translated words:
    Alas! One day a student
    kisses her on the lips
    and it was such a kss
    revelation:
    It was passion!
    Crazy love!
    Crazy intoxication!
    Who could this subtle carress
    of such flaming a kiss
    ever describe;

    Ah! my dream!

    Ah! my life!

    Who cares about riches
    if it finally flourishes
    happiness!
    Oh golden dream
    to be able to love like this!

    I am so glad that this ravishing film meant so much to you. E.M. Forster was a wonderful, insightful writer and I think this superbly cast, gorgeous film was the greatest version of one of his books. Every second of it, the fact that Lucy has been raised with a degree of freedom whilst Cecil represents all that is constrained and buttoned down, and suddenly Lucy is confronted by a storm of real physical love and the freedom to feel and live as she wants - you watch the film longing for the right ending and thank Heavens you are given it.

    Also my favorite film of all time. I am just as obsessed with it. It also happens to have the fine actors from some of my other favorites like Jewel in the Crown (Maggie Smith, Rosemary Leach, Fabia Drake) and My Beautiful Lauderette ( Daniel Day Lewis), Notes on a Scandal ( Judi Dench) .. it's no wonder it was fabulous.

    This film is on my list to be watched!! Appreciate your analysis as always! I wanted to recommend you two books you should read if you haven’t yet. First is “The Story Of Film” by Mark Cousins and “Thinking Through Film” by Damian Cox and Michael Levine. Both are brilliant reads. Happy holidays man!!!
