Title: Beautiful film
Product review: This is a masterly adaption of E.M. Forster's novel. The film begins in the beautiful city of Florence, where romantic tensions begin to develop between the young and inexperienced Lucy Honeychurch and the radical George Emerson, and takes us on to the British countryside, where Lucy struggles to resolve her longings. The tale of a young girl breaking free from the protective shell of her adolescence is an endearing one, scripted and played with a comedic edge. The humour flows naturally from the situation and the characters, and is therefore gentle and unforced. The cast are outstanding, particularly in some of the supporting roles: Daniel Day Lewis is deliciously pretentious as Cecil; Simon Callow and Denholm Elliot also shine in minor roles.Nothing here is overstated. The beauty of the locations and the characters are allowed to speak for themselves without heavy-handed direction or overly lavish treatment. Forster's story is brought to life in an uncluttered and lasting way.
