Must see (again)

The World is Elsewhere

Trailer

First published in 1910, E.M. Forster’s Howards End was one of the most important English novels of the twentieth century, and Merchant Ivory’s tour-de-force adaptation, starring Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins, and Vanessa Redgrave, was one of the most critically acclaimed films of the 1990s.

Shakespeare Wallah

India 1965

Dir James Ivory

Elegiac and atmospheric, Shakespeare Wallah put Merchant Ivory Productions on the international movie map. The film was inspired by in the real-life adventures of Ms. Kendal’s family as a traveling theater group in India during the final days of English colonial rule.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle

1974

World-weary and living hand to mouth, Coyle works on the sidelines of the seedy Boston underworld just to make ends meet. In one of the best performances of his legendary career, Robert Mitchum plays small-time gunrunner Eddie “Fingers” Coyle in Peter Yates’s The Friends of Eddie Coyle.

Dersu Uzala

Soviet Union 1975

Dir Akira Kurosawa

The story of an elderly guide and Goldi hunter, who, at the turn of the century, agrees to shepherd a Russian explorer and a troop of soldiers through the most treacherous passages of the Far East. The guide is “one” with the land, and is thus able to save his party from perishing.

Dir Hettie Macdonald
