Remains of the Day

Frankly, this is my personal favourite of the James Ivory films. The refinement of the story is second to none. Emotional hints, scarce signs, remains...leave the most memorable cinematic imprint. Truly English. Truly wonderful.

James Ivory has quite simply turned a fine novel by Kazuo Ishiguro into a flawless screen masterpiece. This feature involves the finest acting, engrossing direction, beautiful cinematography and a hauntingly appropriate score that reflects the currents of this most challenged love story.
