(174 reviews) Beautiful filmThis is an enjoyable love story set in Italy and England. The cast is wonderful and Daniel Day Lewis, as usual, is amazing. For those who do not care for period pieces, look for the irony and subtle humor. It is very entertaining. For those who are sensitive to such things, there is an extended scene with full frontal male nudity. As men enter the pond, it can be easily skipped over and could have been shot more discretely with the same effect.
My wife and I enjoyed the film a great deal. I felt it was better than the PBS version of the same story. April 30, 2008
A Room with a View - Blu-ray
The blu-ray edition is just beautifully done. It was wonderful to see the critically acclaimed movie again after so many years. If you're a Merchant Ivory's fan then you must own this blu-ray edition. April 28, 2008
HD DVD version of a classic film
My recent purchase of A Room with a View has been a joy to behold. I have always loved the film having seen it at the cinema and owning a copy on Laser Disc. The quality of the picture in HD was as subtle as the original but was sharper than the Laser Disc version. It is a pity that HD DVD is being consigned to the dustbin. April 25, 2008
True to E.M. Forrester's Novella
Delightfully true to E.M. Forrester's Novella. Absolutely delightful and enjoyable to all the senses. The filming of Tuscany is stunning and the quirky humor of this tale of victorian manners is very enjoyable. April 6, 2008
Merchant and Ivory - Another Great Adaptation
This is the ideal love story we all want to see. The music is beautiful, the characters are people we want to be, the place and setting - Italy and England - places most North Americans want to visit (especially Italy in February). Great directing, great cinematography, great acting... good, romantic fun (without the rush to the airport nonsense...). Look for Daniel Day-Lewis as the dandy-snob in this film - the great Chameleon actor at play.
Che Bambino Caro... watch this movie and the aria will be forever lodged in your psyche. But hey, why not. This is the kind of movie you watch on a cold, windy, snow-blurry Saturday night, eating pizza, sipping Amarone or Chianti and sitting back with the one you love. After this film, may forever the cockles of your heart be stirred and warmed. February 17, 2008
