The ghostly overtones of ondes Martenot is out of this world!

Maurice Jarre was fond of "ondes Martenot", an early electronic keyboard Olivier Messiaen used a lot, which adds a great mood to the score.

they dont make films like this anymore 😢💗

That's incredibly beautiful. It cleans my soul from dust and sadness

They made a film of that thing?

SOME INSPO FOR THE PIANO SONG I HAVE FOR MY EXAM THAT I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE 1:56

I’d like to thank Maurice’s prologue for my mental capacity, i have this one song in piano I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE and thank the lords its in 3:41 ish of the song or else I really would not have the energy to even do the stupid dynamics.

Victor Banerjee is A Great Performance and Very Nice Actor Victor Banerjee is A Great Personally

The interviewer is a bit of an idiot. As in, he doesn't get the finer idiosyncrasies.

Such haunting use of the clarinet.

This is a beautiful movie and so well done. I have seen it many times. However, always at the end I am left thinking about Mrs. Bast. Everything ends up rosy for the Schiegels but she is not mentioned again. Was Forster saying something about the society by with this disregard? Surely she had to return to the streets.

That’s her Mom there 19:05 Wow!

Wow. I can't even my way through this doc for all the racism and imperialist attitudes of the British filmmakers. Can they not hear how they sound? Shocking.

I LOVE judy davis she has some weird charismatic beautiful appeal in front of the camera she's such funny and her best works i've seen were really playing judy Garland or in husbands and wives which really was robbed for an oscar win

This is really the sound of my broken heart. After so many years...

who is the boy that never even seen in the movie? im confused oh his name is dicky!! who is that

Merchant and Ivory were real-life partners as well as artistic partners. Forster was also gay. Forster didn't live long enough (he died in 1970) to see any of his books made into films.

Merchant and Ivory made 44 films, until Merchant's death in 2005. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Ivory_Productions

It's also about shaking off silly Victorian conventions.

I saw this when it first came out in a 70mm print. I was blown away by the movie. I went back to see it again a few weeks later, same theater but they'd switched to a 35mm print. While the emotional impact was the same, the visual impact was greatly diminished.

The most charming film ever made. An inimitable, eternal, treasure.

And of course the pond scene in the woods where they'd all gone for a "bathe" - 😊

There is no more perfect version of this...the voice of Kiri Te Kanaw is a perfect, flawness gift! It was such a lovely accompaniment to a lovely movie.

Such an extraordinary score. SERIOUSLY why is this not on I-Tunes. Apparently I-Tunes already has enough millions.

Thank God for E M Forster and James Ivory. A masterpiece.

Visuals were his priority, and his visuals are exquisite, but of course he cared about story structure and acting too.

1:2 damn!!! It's the same outfit kim Teahyung wear🤯

Ok who didn't cry when the somber portion started?

For a closeted and confused male, fresh out of school, this brilliant film - and its soundtrack - had a profound effect on me, one that lingers, even to this day, haunting the most secreted corner of my mind, where darker memories remain locked away.

Imagine how awful this film would have been if John Travolta and Glen Close had been in it! 😱

very nice

Looks even better in its original 70mm ratio... 🙂 See the recent documentary "Merchant / Ivory" if you can!

Certainly one of the faces on the Mount Rushmore of cinema

I agree. A unique man. I think Franco Zeffirelli fits into this category, too.

Beautiful ❤

😢😢😢

26:58 beautiful 😢

Nice reward at the end for those who watch the whole video :)

does anyone remember a scene when clive and his wife have sex? i saw a picture of it but cant remember it being in the film

what does he say at 14:18? i cant understand the conversation at all

Gosh, where to start critiquing such a sumptuous movie? There's just so much quality! Robbins' score is, in many ways, simple. This movement, for example, is basically two chords. However, his treatment of them and the complex undercurrent - both musical and emotional - are rapturous. The whole production is first class, evocative, moving, and arguably unlike any other film. Ivory is still alive, but Merchant and Robbins have departed this world. I pray they're having a drink with Forster and that he is proud of their lavish adaptation of his touching story.

Trivia: Vanessa Redgrave’s mother Rachel Kempson also played the character of Ruth Wilcox, in a BBC adaptation of Howards End in the late 1960s. Emma’s character Margaret Schlegel was played in that by Glenda Jackson.

This is so beautiful ❤

I loved this film very much and am so happy they made it. Forester's novel is difficult to read because he was trying to image the unimaginable, a world in which two men with social standing could be a couple. It's a pitty that Ivory did not address the solution to explaining why Clive went straight. In the novel, he just appears to discover women out of nowhere. It sounds hard to accept. However, ini the film, they had an entire side story of a viscount who gets arrested and charge with a crime for his behavior with soldiers. Clive decides he has to take a wife and lose any love with Maurice to remain a barrister and avoid arrest. I wish Ivory had talked about that.

Thinking of Julian Sands. RIP January 2023

I phoned up a Bonham-Carter in the local phone book in about '87 and said "Is Helena there?" but then bottled it.🙂

James Wilby is not only drop dead gorgeous but an incredible talented actor. He's got such presence on screen that is rarely seen these days. The fact that this is his first major role is astounding. He act so natural and his Marurice is so believable that I forget that I'm watching an actor.James Wilby is truly a class act, well deserved award for his role

I agree with all the deleted scenes they really didn't add much to the storyline. But I do agree with Kit Harvey when he said what a miracle they found James Wilby. A miracle indeed! Not only he's drop dead gorgeous, he's an incredibly good actor. The fact that this was his first major role in film just astonishing. He's got incredible presence on screen,totally draws you in the role. Amazing. I can't image anyone else playing Marurice, he's perfect.
