Documentary 

A fascinating tribute to celebrated filmmaking duo Merchant Ivory’s ‘wandering company’ and unique partnership. 

Director James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant were renowned for their stately period dramas, but the chaotic reality of their sets is at odds with the exquisitely beautiful images they composed on screen in classic films like Maurice, A Room with a View, A Passage to India and Howards End. 

In this tremendously engaging documentary, director Stephen Soucy speaks with over 40 of the filmmaking duo's collaborators – including Helena Bonham Carter, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Vanessa Redgrave – about the indelible experience of creating their era-defining cinema.
