Howard's End: 25th Anniversary Edition
Named Best Picture of the Year and nominated for nine 1992 Academy Awards® (including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress), HOWARDS END is a dazzling adaptation of E.M. Forster's classic novel of Edwardian England. The film tells the story of the Schlegel sisters, Margaret (Emma Thompson) and Helen (Helena Bonham Carter); of a rich businessman, Henry Wilcox (Anthony Hopkins), and his frail wife, Ruth (Vanessa Redgrave), and their children; and of an unhappily married young bank clerk, Leonard Bast (Sam West), whom the Schlegel sisters befriend.
Critic Reviews:
- " From start to finish, Howards End is a sumptuous visual delight. But the beauty of this film is far more than skin deep. " – Jeff Menell
- " A more troubling and rigorous inquest into a bygone era than usual. " – Lizzie Francke
- " In its own severe and occasionally stolid way, Howards End offers real passion. " – Peter Bradshaw
