HOWARD'S END is the latest and, I think, the best film yet from the team of Merchant, Ivory, and Jhabvala. Their previous collaborations, of course, include two other Forster novels (ROOM WITH A VIEW and MAURICE), MR. AND MRS. BRIDGE, and THE BOSTONIANS (my least favorite). It doesn't hurt anyone that the source novel is Forster's masterpiece, but a less gifted writer than Jhabvala could easily have gotten lost in the many layers and characters, the scope, of the original. She is faithful to the spirit of the novel, she gives literal renditions of individual scenes and fearlessly condenses other pages into a gesture or a line of dialogue. The result is light, effortless, graceful, lively, funny, fascinating, and alarming. The production values are high, precise, and convincing. Ivory's direction is delicate and evocative. And the actors constitute a dream cast.
