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).
