With Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Emma Thompson), Art Direction and Writing, James Ivory's Howards End might well have also scored the Best Picture nod, which went to Unforgiven.
This gorgeous, classically produced tale of Edwardian England, has finally found a home on Blu-ray via Criterion, and the final result is one of perfection.
I'm aware that there is sometimes a chasm between those who enjoy films such as The Dark Knight and Merchant / Ivory productions, but I would highly suggest that those who enjoy quality cinema, with a great story, acting and cinematography, give this one a try. Howards End is, simply put, magnificent filmmaking.
Filled to overflowing with the normal Criterion hors d'oeuvres, Howards End is Very Highly Recommended.
