Product Description

Amazon.com essential video
The prestigious filmmaking trio of producer Ismail Merchant, director James Ivory, and screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala had made other critically acclaimed films before A Room with a View was released in 1985, but it was this popular film that made them art-house superstars. Splendidly adapted from the novel by E.M. Forster, it's a comedy of the heart, a passionate romance and a study of repression within the British class system of manners and mores. It's that system of rigid behavior that prevents young Lucy Honeychurch (Helena Bonham Carter) from accepting the loving advances of a free-spirited suitor (Julian Sands), who fears that she will follow through with her engagement to a priggish intellectual (Daniel Day-Lewis) whose capacity for passion is virtually nonexistent. During and after a trip to Italy with her protective companion (Maggie Smith), Lucy gradually gets in touch with her true emotions. The fun of watching A Room with a View comes from seeing how Lucy's thoughts and feelings finally arrive at the same romantic conclusion. Through an abundance of humor both subtle and overt, this crowd-pleasing "art movie" rose to an unexpected level of popular appeal. The Merchant-Ivory team received eight Academy Award nominations for their efforts, and won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, Art Direction, and Costume Design. --Jeff Shannon

HD DVD Incompatible with our new HD DVD Player January 4, 2009
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Even though we have a new Sony HD DVD theatre system, it could not play this HD DVD as the two are incompatible. There's a warning inside the DVD that you may have to download software to your HD DVD player to make it compatible with the HD DVD, but at the time there was no warning on Amazon.com; otherwise, we would never have bought it. This was a complete waste of money for us -- we can't watch it, and we can't return it as Amazon's return policy states returns must be in new, unopened condition.

a gem for Merchant Ivory fans October 28, 2008
I give this 5 stars not just for being a masterpiece of a story but also as a wonderful trip to Florence (and the english countryside). Julian Sands and Helena Bonham Carter fans will also be pleased.

HD-DVD October 24, 2008

Anyone buying a DVD from this WEBSITE better make sure it does not say HD-DVD because this is actually only good on an HD-DVD player which is obsolete and was replaced with Blue Ray. These are not compatible therefore you cannot watch this movie. I luckily realized this before I opened it so I was able to return it. I am sure there are several people who will open these to try them out. Unfortunately once opened, they are not retunrable!

VERY GOOD TRANSFER August 31, 2008

THE BLU-RAY IS VERY VERY GOOD IN VIDEO ALSO CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE MOVIE. THE ITALIAN EDITION ON DVD WAS UNWATCHABLE AND THAT'S THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS BLU-RAY. THE ONLY PROBLEM FOR ME IS THAT THERE IS NO ITALIAN LANGUAGE. THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION IS WRONG

It does not work August 27, 2008

DVD would not work in any of my players even the new ones. It came with a little note in it that tells you you need new software to get it to run in most DVD players. I am returning it.
