| James Ivory was born in Berkeley, California. As a student at the University of Southern California he directed a short subject, Four in the Morning (1953), and was then commissioned by the Asia Society to go to India to make a documentary (1960). There, in partnership with a local producer, Ismail Merchant, he made a series of Indian-based films, climaxing with Shakespeare Wallah (1965), which Ivory also co-scripted. Basing their company in the U.S.A. from the early 1970s, the Ivory-Merchant team enjoyed its greatest success with relatively pure adaptations of literary works, such as Henry James's The Europeans (1979) and E. M. Forster's A Room With a View (1987). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Ismail Merchant and James Ivory's adaptation of E.M. Forster's controversial novel. Set in pre-World War I England, this film concerns the coming of age of two young men who meet at Cambridge and fall in love. It brilliantly dissects the era's moral hypocrisy as Maurice and Clive struggle with the desires of their hearts and the rigid constraints of society. To regain his place in society, Clive gives up his forbidden love Maurice and marries. While staying with Clive and his shallow wife, Anne, Maurice finally discovers romance in the arms of Alec, the gamekeeper. Maurice celebrates the diversity of human nature with a keen eye and unabashed romanticism: Timeless, subtle and moving. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
