A Room with a View

In this British drama based on the novel by E.M. Forster, Lucy Honeychurch (Helena Bonham-Carter), a young Englishwoman, is touring Italy with her older cousin (Maggie Smith). At a hotel in Florence, Lucy meets the charming and free-spirited George Emerson (Julian Sands). Although intrigued by George, once she’s back in England Lucy ponders settling down with the wealthy, staid Cecil Vyse (Daniel Day-Lewis). When George reappears in her life, Lucy must decide between him and Cecil.

Alongside the documentary Merchant Ivory, we will be playing classic films by the iconic filmmaking duo, such as The Remains of the DayHoward’s End, and Maurice

"Ivory glides his players through magnificent Italian and English landscapes and in drawing rooms that breathe authenticity."
Bob Thomas, The Associated Press
"Perhaps the primary reason A Room With a View is so involving is that Ivory has cast the film perfectly, and given each of the actors ample room to breathe. Even the characters you're not supposed to like are allowed their moments of vulnerable humanity."
John Hartl, Film.com
