Provincetown Film Art Series: Howards End

The Provincetown Film Art Series, now in its 18^th year, is sponsored by the Provincetown Film Society (PFS) and Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) and curated and hosted by film scholar Howard Karren. Films in the series, both recent and vintage, are chosen around central themes, but the focus is on films about artists and creativity, and films that are themselves works of art.

Howards End (1992)

Directed by James Ivory. Screenplay by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, based on the novel by E.M. Forster. With Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham Carter, Vanessa Redgrave, and Anthony Hopkins. 2 hours, 22 minutes.

Of Merchant Ivory’s three brilliant E.M. Forster adaptations — A Room With a View, Maurice, and Howards End — the latter one, which is equally as romantic and scathing as the previous two — offers the richest tableau of the British bourgeoisie at the dawn of the modern era.
