Howards End
Based on the Novel by E.M. Forster
Directed by James Ivory
Produced by Merchant Ivory Productions, Japan Satellite Broadcasting
A thoughtful, beautifully crafted exploration of class, morality, and human connection in Edwardian England, anchored by the bonds between sisters navigating a world of social upheaval.
A saga of class relations and changing times in an Edwardian England on the brink of modernity, the film centers on liberal Margaret Schlegel, who, along with her sister Helen, becomes involved with two couples: wealthy, conservative industrialist Henry Wilcox and his wife Ruth, and the downwardly mobile working-class Leonard Bast and his mistress Jackie.
