Maurice (2-disc DVD)
Directed by James Ivory
The repressed and bourgeois Maurice HalI (James Wilby) tackles the prejudices of Edwardian society as he comes to terms with his sexuality, in this Iandmark drama from the team behind A Room with a View (1985) and Howard's End (1992).
From the haIls of Cambridge University to the cricket fields of the English gentry, this profound taIe of emotional and sexuaI awakening features star-making performances from Wilby, Hugh Grant and Rupert Graves, and perfectIy captures the fears and joys of submitting to a forbidden desire.
Described by The Guardian as undervalued and underseen and a pre-cursor to the James lvory-scripted CaII Me By Your Name (2017), Maurice is a landmark fiIm as important as any in the history of gay cinema and one that presents a positive and enriching portrait of first Iove. |
