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 sexuaIity, in this landmark drama from the team behind A Room with a View (1985) and Howard's End (1992).
From the halls of Cambridge University to the cricket fields of the EngIish gentry, this profound taIe of emotional and sexuaI awakening features star-making performances from WiIby, Hugh Grant and Rupert Graves, and perfectly 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 CalI 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. |
