Product Description

 
James Ivory directed this quietly moving film set just prior to World War II. On the large English estate of Lord Darlington (James Fox), a disciplined English butler, Stevens (Anthony Hopkins), devotes himself to his duties with rigorous dedication. Like his father (Peter Vaughan) before him, Stevens lives to serve--to bring order and certainty to the estate's minutiae. Though Stevens has the opportunity to break free of this mold in the form of a romance with the spirited housekeeper, Miss Kenton (Emma Thompson), he chooses to remain within the safe structure of the household, even one that has misguided loyalties to Nazi Germany. Christopher Reeve and Hugh Grant costar as men hoping to show Lord Darlington the danger of his allegiances. THE REMAINS OF THE DAY was Merchant-Ivory's follow-up to HOWARDS END, which also starred Hopkins and Thompson; both actors were nominated for Academy Awards for their roles as dutiful servants in the later film.

The Saddest Fucking Love Story Ever Committed to Film

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: Who would have thought Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson would be the ones starring in a quintessential story of love?
Review: I first saw James Ivory s Remains of the Day when I was a little younger and I thought it was absolutely brilliant. It re-united Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins from the Oscar runner-up, Howard s End and had the latter give a career performance...

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: A moving and lovely period piece from Merchant-Ivory with arguably Anthony Hopkins's greatest performance.
Review: Remains of the Day is a story about a love relationship that might have been, but which was allowed to evaporate by the reticence of one party. Set in the context of the rise of Nazi tensions just prior to World War II, it is also a lavish period...

A Great World War II Movie

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2000
Review: ... With All The Violence Minus The Gunfire

This is the greatest World War II movie I have seen. The violence perpetrated is fundamental. It is a great work of art and Anthony Hopkins (who I remember from The Silence of the Lambs) and Emma...
