“A candid, lucid, passionate film" – Guardian. Released in 1987, Merchant Ivory's exquisite adaptation of EM Forster's novel is a moving portrait of repression, love and acceptance, starring Hugh Grant and James Wilby. In the years before the First World War, two men meet at Cambridge University and fall in love, but a friend’s conviction for indecency leads them to attempt to suppress their feelings.
