Synopsis

Howards End (1992) / Retour a Howards End / 2 DVDs set / Region 2 PAL DVD / Audio: English, French / Subtitles: French / Actors: Vanessa Redgrave, Helena Bonham Carter, Emma Thompson / Director: James Ivory / 142 minutes The story takes place in Edwardian England. Three families represent three social classes: the Wilcoxes are wealthy capitalists, the class that is displacing the aristocracy; the Schlegel sisters represent the enlightened bourgeoisie; and the Basts are in the lower middle class. (Forster is clear that the novel is 'not concerned with the very poor.') The film asks the question 'Who will inherit England?' and answers it through the ownership of the house, Howards End, as it passes from person to person.
