Review of A Room with a View (1986) by Arianeta L — 03 Oct 2009
The film is based upon the novel A Room with a View by E.M. Forster and stars Maggie Smith (Charlotte Bartlett), Helena Bonham Carter (Lucy Honeychurch), Denholm Elliott (Mr. Emerson), Julian Sands (George Emerson), Simon Callow (Mr. Beebe), Judi Dench (Miss Eleanor Lavish), Daniel Day-Lewis (Cecil Vyse), and Rupert Graves (Freddy Honeychurch).
Lucy (Elena Bonham Carter), won't admit her true feelings and lies to everyone about it. She gets engaged to Cecil (Daniel Day-Lewis in a great early performance) who is really annoying and stuffy. However she is really in love with George, who is much more laid back and romantic. There is really funny scene of three men running around totally naked in the woods and also a passion kiss between Lusy and George in a wheat field. James Ivory directed a realy poetic, charming, funny, romantic and sensual film with characters full of life, passion, love and hope. A great story about the courage to face our true feelings and to risk intimacy, fully knowing and being known by another person. The musical score on this movie is beautiful, especially in the last scene.
