Howard’s End - 1992 - 7/10
Lavish Merchant-Ivory production of impoverished gentry clashing with wealthy family.
Class comes into play as the impoverished are intelligent and more sympathetic to poorer connections.
Money is its own world, portrayed by a coldly dispassionate Anthony Hopkins.
Slow throughout, with gorgeous photography.
There are a lot of characters, and interweaving triangles. One almost needs a playbook.
Subsequent viewings will reveal more subtleties.
Powerhouse cast.
Most worthwhile if you are in the mood for a leisurely journey though manners and distinction.
