Director James Ivory delivered a knockout with this adaptation of the classic novel by E.M. Forster. A simple gesture of trading a room with a view has a profound effect on a young British couple from different classes while traveling in Italy. Brilliantly written by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and directed by Ivory, the film touches on the British class system that undermines human capacity for love and passion. Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter lead the stellar ensemble cast that includes Daniel Day-Lewis, Julian Sands, Denholm Elliot, Rupert Graves, Simon Callow and Judi Dench amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
