Press Notes: Howards End

The Academy Award–winning Howards End, starring Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins, is back in the spotlight, thanks to Criterion’s new Blu-ray disc. “Pure artistry defines this 1992 film from director James Ivory,” writes Amanda Mae Meyncke in a review for Film.com, “which is as beautiful and timely seventeen years later as the day it was released.” And according to the home-video experts, Howards End has never looked better; it has a restored visual richness to match its emotional lucidity. DVD Talk commends the “immensely vivid presentation” of this “sumptuous, meaningful drama,” while DVD Verdict praises this “involving and rewarding literary adaptation that deserves to be in your collection.”
