Early Doors - Monday: Merchant Ivory 12A
Merchant Ivory is the first definitive feature documentary to lend new and compelling perspectives on the partnership, both professional and personal, of director James Ivory, producer Ismail Merchant and their primary associates, writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and composer Richard Robbins.
Footage from more than fifty interviews, clips, and archival material gives voice to the family of actors and technicians who helped define Merchant Ivory’s Academy Award-winning work of consummate quality and intelligence.
With six Oscar winners among the notable artists participating, these close and often long-term collaborators intimately detail the transformational cinematic creativity and personal and professional drama of the wandering company that left an indelible impact on film culture.
Contributors include Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, and Helena Bonham Carter amongst many more.
Over the festive period, you can revisit two of Merchant Ivory’s classic films, A Room With a View and The Remains of the Day as part of Showroom Classics.
