... maids, butlers and the political corruption exercised by the ruling classes. James Stevens and Miss Kenton go about their daily tasks with a calm demeanour, never letting their professional stance slip.
The historic aspects of this film are put across extremely well. The style of clothes, domestic décor, appearance of shops and streets in the nearby village etc. are spot-on. I was trying hard to detect something small that the film director may have missed (cruel of me, I kno...more

This is a great film lifted almost in it's entirity from the book of the same name. It focuses on the life of Stevens the butler of Darlington Hall were he's been serving loyally since the dawn of time. The film opens in the the 1950's as the house passes into the ownership of Senator Lewis (Christopher Reeve)who persuades Stevens to take a driving holiday to Devon and into his past. Much of the film is told in flashback and concerns Steven's relationship with Miss Kenton (Emma Thomson)the house's fiesty housekeeper. We see the house in it's glory days in the 1930's with it's army of servants and grand occasions. The ... Read the complete review

I was so excited when this film came out, having read the book by Kazuo Ishiguro. I made my son come with me to see it and he fell asleep; literally nodded off in the cinema. It's not an action movie, one could call it an 'inaction movie', but/and I love it. Screenplay I believe is by another wonderful author and Merchant Ivory collaborator - Ruth Prawer Jhabvala - and the actors - Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson do justice to their script. This is one of those films which is uncanningly like the book. It is not a matter of detail but of spirit. It happened with the Asterix film. I suspect it happened with 'Rogue Trader. There ...

The remains of the day is a true classic merchant ivory film. The film centres on proud a proud Butler and a wonderfull spirited housekeeper who's unspoken love is centre of the film. Hopkins plays Stevens who has served his master for many years and his job as pushed the love of his life away. The film is bout regret and how you deal with your choice. The two main characters are so in love with eachother but dont even get to kiss throughout the film, its through stares and interaction you see the repressed love in the chacters eyes with pride pushing Miss kenton away from hopkins Butler. The Costumes are magnificent and the ... Read the complete review
