Reviewed June 17, 2014<\/p>\n

Grade: A<\/strong><\/p>\n

A brilliant film adaptation of E.M. Forster’s novel, set at Cambridge University at the turn of the twentieth century, it tells the story of oppression and the social norms of the time.<\/p>\n

It is a gorgeously shot film, with beautiful landscapes, photography, and costumes.<\/p>\n

Reminiscent of the British films “A Room with a View” and “Howard’s End”, it is a male love story set in a time when such sexuality was forbidden, and lives were ruined because of it.<\/p>\n

The film’s characters make choices: some repress, others celebrate, with differing results. In the middle of it all is a beautiful love story.<\/p>\n

Maurice (1987) is a timeless, brave treasure.<\/p>\n
