I never thought I would be endeared with a film that encompasses genres of film I usually dislike, period drama and romance.
The location of early scenes in Florence, Italy increased my interest greatly.
The film is a story of forbidden love between two characters who fall for each other on the aforementioned scenes in Florence (Helena Bonham-Carter as Lucy Honeychurch and Julian Sands as George Emerson).
On returning to England, Miss. Honeychurch accepts an engagement to a pompous spiv Cecil Vyse (Daniel Day-Lewis) who doesn't really share a bond of love with Miss. Honeychurch merely treating her as a possession.
The film boasts a great cast who look young or sadly in some cases alive. After all it is over thirty five years old.
After a slow engagement, Honeychurch reaches her inner senses and breaks off the engagement allowing her to follow her heart and be with her first love.
A simple storyline told by a wonderful cast, in great locations and periodicity.
The film marks a filmmaking partnership in the U.K. that brought several historical novels to film. Merchant Ivory.
