They went way back into formula with this film, so I need to remind myself that the Merchant Ivory film with Hopkins after this is "The Remains of the Day", not "The Remains of 'Howards End'". Ironically, this was the first film set outside of America that Merchant Ivory had done in a while, but they made such a booming comeback to British filmmaking stereotypes that they went ahead and put Anthony Hopkins of the payroll. Forster, not necessarily because Merchant Ivory adapts a lot of Forster's books, but because this film is already so British that its story was authored by a novelist who goes by his first two initials, so it may as well be from Merchant Ivory. ![]() Its a dry period drama about class relations in England, so, uh, do you think that it's a Merchant Ivory film? I think you can figure that out just by seeing that this film is an adaptation of a novel by E. ![]()
