The Remains of the Day
Why this pick

A Room with a View
Why this pick
Another finely observed E. M. Forster adaptation, balancing romantic awakening with sharp comedy of manners and a sumptuous vision of Edwardian social constraint.

The House of Mirth
Why this pick
For Howards End’s sensitivity to money and status, this offers an equally elegant, melancholy portrait of a woman navigating the cruelties beneath privileged social circles.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In Edward VII of the United Kingdom Britain, Helen Schlegel becomes engaged to Paul Wilcox during a moment of passion, while she is staying at the country home of the Wilcox family, Howards End. The Schlegels are an intellectual family of Anglo-German bourgeoisie, while the Wilcoxes are conservative and wealthy, led by hard-headed businessman Henry. Helen and Paul quickly decide against the engagement, but Helen has already sent a telegram informing her sister Margaret, which causes an uproar when the sisters' Aunt Juley arrives and causes a scene.
