MAURICE

1987 | Dir James Ivory | 140m | USA
Stars: James Wilby, Rupert Graves, Hugh Grant

Merchant Ivory’s adaptation of Forster’s posthumously published gay novel follows its main character through his unsatisfactory affair with a fellow student at Cambridge and his later relationship with one of the works on his ex-lover’s estate. Critically
acclaimed but largely ignored on its release, the film has gained celebrity over the last 10 years. “A stunning success for a team who seem to have mastered all the problems of making literary films” (Sight and Sound).
LGBT+ History Month screening.
Preceded by a locally filmed short “Queer Croydon”

Florence Foster Jenkins has many strings to her bow: socialite; opera buff; and great wealth to name a few.

The ability to sing, however, is not one of them. Despite this, she has developed a cult following through her exclusive private recitals.

Jenkins finally dares to publicise her supposed talents through a self-promoted show, with the help of her dubious husband, St. Clair Bayfield (Grant) and accompanist Cosmé McMoon (Helberg). The acknowledgement she receives however is not of the nature she expects.

Streep gives a vibrant, and typically masterful performance as the self-deceiving Jenkins in this tragicomedy, with Grant also on top form.
