Don't expect the usual Merchant-Ivory quality!,
By jeffsdate "jeffsdate" (Boxford, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Householder - The Merchant Ivory Collection (DVD)
This movie has a low-budget, homemade feel to it. I guess it was one of their very first films. It's in black and white and the sound quality is so poor that sometimes it's difficult to understand what the characters are saying. The Indian background music is often shrill and jarring, like fingernails on a blackboard. Also, the acting seemed pretty amateurish to me. The story is quite slow, too, and for me it dragged a bit. I would say this is only for the SERIOUS Merchant-Ivory scholar!

This review is from: The Householder - The Merchant Ivory Collection (DVD)
The Ivory-Merchant-Jhabvala team established a particular style in their film productions. This film and HEAT AND DUST are even more special because they are based on novels written by Jhabvala herself.
