Kirpianuscus like for each film directed by James Ivory, the basic source of seduction is the atmosphere. as a flavor of cinnamon. then - the performances , a kind of clothes for the characters. not the least, the feeling to be part of story. because, his films are expressions of happy meets between books, viewer and the right director. story of choices, emotions, expectations, decisions and errors, "Howards End" remains a beautiful chronicle about the end of innocence. this fact defines it. and transforms a film in useful occasion of reflection.
SnoopyStyle Sister Helen Schlegel (Helena Bonham Carter) and Margaret Schlegel (Emma Thompson) are enlightened bourgeoisie. The Wilcoxes are rich and money-obsessed. Helen befriends matriarch Ruth Wilcox (Vanessa Redgrave). On her death bed, Ruth leaves her ancestral home Howards End to Helen who is about to lose the lease to her family home. The note has no date and no signature. Henry Wilcox (Anthony Hopkins) and his children decide to burn the note and ignore Ruth's wishes. The Schlegel sisters take an interest in the poor dreamer clerk Leonard Bast. Later, Henry spends time with Helen and they get married.This is not my type of movies. It's long and slow and meandering. However, there is no denying that there is real craftsmanship here. The acting is superb. The movie looks beautiful. It's showing something about the classes in the era. However, I don't find the characters that compelling. The Schlegels talk too much. The Wilcoxes are too cold. Bast is too bitter. I can't really connect to any of these characters but the movie is still a masterpiece of filmmaking.

The film won three awards, including for Best Art Direction (Luciana Arrighi and Ian Whittaker). Ruth Prawer Jhabvala earned her second Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, while Emma Thompson won the 1992 Academy Award for Best Actress.The film ended up on Ebert's list of "great movies" in 2005, which is impressive -- typically you only see classics make a list like that, but Ebert went for it. And indeed, so far it has stood the test of time, and perhaps has even grown in stature. I suspect it has found a new audience with fans of "Downton Abbey", and who knew when this came out that Helena Bonham Carter was going to be a big deal?
Armand James Ivory is the best word for define this film. beauty, precise- delicate performance, perfect atmosphere and something else , a small detail as a state o soul. and that is key - the extraordinary art to preserve and give the spirit of novel who contains actors, image, script, lights, dialogs as ingredients. the film of Ivory, and this title is not an exception, are not movies defined by action but perfume bottles.and this is heart of seduction.so, it is difficult to review one of his films in usual manner. but the meeting between sir Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson is one of its fundamental pillars. Helena Bonham Carter is not a revelation but so many years but can be considered the engine of this train
