Moviemaking as it should be

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

what can I say about this film that hasn't already been said.... This is really the quintessential Merchant Ivory experience. Isn't it? .. Beautiful lush settings, cinematography that looks like a painting... beautiful music and beautiful actors... I first saw this movie in the theatres eons ago.. This film could still be a hit now.. It really didn't feel dated at all... it's timeless..

Scenes cut out!!!!

February 16, 2018

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I watched this with my friends on a large screen (home theater)...it looked so bad! It was a bit jarring here and there. This is one of my favorite films of all time, and the "pond" scene was cut out of my disc...it paused at the stairs and then completely skipped the scenes of the men bathing in the pond and running around nude. This is actually a hilarious scene, and not at all "rated x", so I just don't get it. I was so disappointed! I thought I'd missed it when I went to make popcorn and came back and no one said anything...so I said, did I miss the best part? Has anyone else noticed this? (The scene is #14 I believe, which shows up in scene selection, but it won't let you choose it.). Very disappointed in this disc, I'm looking for a different one with better quality.

My All Time Favorite Movie...

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

God I love this movie, every bit of it. I wish I was an eloquent writer but I’m not. This movie is beautiful, funny, romantic, thrilling, sensual and smart. I love everything about it. I don’t know anything about lighting or directing etc...but the Cinematography and the landscape, the period and the score is so lovely and I am truly grateful for this perfect movie.

Classic Must See!

June 7, 2015

This film is a classic form Merchant-Ivory Productions I miss that they are no longer with us because the production cast and storytelling was always superb. For anyone who has never been to Italy or Florence or who intends to go this film is a must see, I bought it on Blu-Ray after just coming back from my fifth trip to Italy, I first saw it in a cinema in Paris in 1987 before traveling to Italy and it made me so excited to go -and all these years later I still enjoy the wonderful feeling, humor and drama of this film from a foreigner's perspective.

Great actors particularly the women Maggie Smith, Judy Dench and Helena-Bonham Carter with Daniel Day Lewis playing a role you may not even recognize him in, everyone in this film is a joy to watch, it is humane and universal, incredibly romantic but just a classic E.M Foster story set in early 20th century Europe.

Beautiful Victorian

January 17, 2018

SInce the VHS does not work any longer, I had to order the DVD of what is for me a "classic" Victorian movie. Was happy with the conversion to DVD especially the audio, which in many conversions is horrible. Was disappointed that the extras are not accessible on this Region 1 BluRay DVD. Re: the screen play, I like Forester, but prefer Wharton and if it's a more intriguing look at the Victorian period, recommend "Age of Innocence" which has sumptuous sets and I love the narration--it explains alot about society as does "Howard's End". This movie is beautiful, however and the acting superb.

Brilliant and Beautiful

April 27, 2017

This is a beautiful, classic film based on a brilliant novel. I see that most the bad reviews come from people not liking the extras on the DVD set. The few that think this movie is dated must also believe classic literature is dated. I love this film.

A classic!

April 16, 2006

In high school, my firends and I watched this movie at least every other week. When I finally did visit Florence, I could hear "O Mio Bambino Caro" echoing in the Piazza and thought of A Room With A View. Florence, to date, is my favorite city in all of Europe.

Now twenty years since the first release of the movie, we can relive the discovery of love between George Emerson and Lucy Honeychurch on a high-definition quality DVD. The beauty of Florence is captured even more so on DVD than I remember. The digital remastering is so stunning. There is not one trace of graininess in the movie that would give the film an outdated appearance. You really cannot tell that this movie was made twenty years ago.

Watching Daniel Day Lewis play the bookish and unpassionate Cecil Vyse, after watching him in so many heroically masculine roles, is a treasure. He's not the raskish, broad-chested Mohican but the tall wiry, stiff erudite played spot on. Julian Sands is at his best in this film. After the Warlock movies, it kind of petered out from there. However, the ladies, Helena Bonham Carter, Dame Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are in constant demand today. Poor Charlotte, indeed.
