Howards End [1992]
Howards End is so stunningly beautiful it’s like looking at a 140-minute long postcard. It’s also just as slow-paced, though. And quite talky. But watching these incredible characters talk, quarrel and love is what makes this film a pleasure. The cast is impeccable: Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham Carter, Vanessa Redgrave, Samuel West, Nicola Duffett and Anthony Hopkins deliver top-notch performances.
Great, great film. And if that wasn’t enough, one year later Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins would do The Remains of the Day. THAT film is one of the most brilliantly acted dramas I’ve ever seen.

I’ve been meaning to watch that, too. I’ll get to it as soon as I have the chance.
