Of all his in his lifetime published books (`Maurice' wasn't published before his death in 1970) E.M. Forster considered `Room with a view' as the least successful. Why that is I don´t know, because I think it's a charming book, full of warmth and humour and this film does the unthinkable: It captures the spirit of the book! It's one of the best screen adaptions that have ever been made. A perfect movie!
Lucy Honeychurch (Helena Bonham-Carter) and her spinster cousin Charlotte (Maggie Smith) travel to Florence to spend their holidays there. They find themselves with rooms with no view and an elder gentleman, called Mr. Emerson (Denholm Eliot) and his son George (Julian Sands), who have such rooms, switch rooms with the two women. George falls in love with Lucy and in a passionate and beautiful scene kisses her in a field full of flowers. But Charlotte caught them and she and Lucy return instantly back to England. There her snobbish fiancé Cecil Vyse (Daniel Day-Lewis) waits for her. Though they don't real fit together she wants to go on with the marriage. But then George and his father by coincidence rent a house in the village where Lucy lives. She feels attracted to George, but is not sure if she doesn't want to go the safe way. What will she do?
This small and intelligent romantic comedy was the surprise hit of 1985, making Merchant-Ivory and some of it's performers big names. It's light as feather, has a wonderful warm feeling about it and it never becomes cheap entertainment. The costumes, the sets, the cinematography, everything was simply perfect! There truly is no other word for it.
Helena Bonham-Carter became a star with her characterisation of Lucy. She's wonderful, touching and perfectly supported by all the other actors. Especially memorable are Judi Dench as the author of romantic fiction, Eleanor Lavish (she's hilarious), Daniel Day-Lewis, who's hardly recognisable as Cecil and Maggie Smith (I simply adore her in this) as the chaperon, who just wants to help.IMDB Reviewer
