The Schlegel sisters’ humanism will be torn apart as they try both to softly knock down the Wilcox’s prejudices and to help the Basts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTARS:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000164\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\"\u003eAnthony Hopkins\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000668\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\"\u003eEmma Thompson\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000603\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\"\u003eVanessa Redgrave\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e142 min | Drama, Romance | 1992 | Color\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMovies with low demand and\/or out of print are manufactured-to-order using high quality recordable DVDs.

I put the film on and Emma Thompson – presumably with the help of her accomplices, Ivory, Jhavhala, Hopkins etc – takes me away from whatever mood I’m trying to escape and leads me through her own, brilliantly drawn, gently torturous path. I don’t recall when was the last time an actress has had this kind of power over my own psyche. The film is constructed with an Ivory attention to detail worthy of a vintage Visconti. The screenplay has no lapses of any kind and never falls into the usual traps. Loyal to its source material and yet, cinematic in the most revolutionary traditional sense of the word. The Britishness of Anthony Hopkins character is turned upside down giving us a glimpse into a character that’s a mass of contradictions. But it is Emma Thompson’s film from beginning to end. What a glorious achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FilmClassicsonDVD","offers":[{"title":"GET DVD","offer_id":51478245605663,"sku":"hoend-1","price":12.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DOWNLOAD","offer_id":51478245638431,"sku":"hoend-2","price":10.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/0788\/5087\/files\/f_1fa5e005-8742-4c0f-9c7d-90430eb09190.jpg?v=1766057012","url":"https:\/\/filmclassicsondvd.com\/products\/howards-end","provider":"FilmClassicsonDVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
