The Documentary film of Merchant Ivory(2023) directed by Stephen Soucy is on its way of Global Premiere. Firstly Nov. 11th and 12th in New York. I found a lot of black and white photos of James' attending the 45th Cannes International Film Festival in the film. Never seen them before...

James Ivory (1928–) and Ismail Merchant (1936–2005).

The couple stayed together for 44 years, from 1961 until Merchant's death. They made 28 films with each other — among them A Room with a View, Maurice, Howards End and The Remains of the Day — through their own company, Merchant Ivory Productions.

occasionally I remember that my mom has met Ismail Merchant and it instantly ruins my day (I am so incredibly jealous)

SUBLIME CINEMA #654 - THE REMAINS OF THE DAY

I’ve been on a Merchant-Ivory kick recently; there’s something comforting about the fastidiousness of both the filmmaking and the subject matter. Both seem completely alien today. 

This is a masterpiece, about such formal relationships that most everything, even the most shattering centerpieces, are left unsaid. I’m not sure there exists a more emotionally subtle film. 

Amazing cast.

James Wilby on Ismail Merchant for Stephen Soucy's documentary on Merchant Ivory.

"In my head, I thought he was the big bad wolf, you know, I remember when we saw the film, the first screening of the film, I had actually seen it before, but only in an editing room. I was sitting behind Ismail, I think. And when the credits rolled, and I just saw his shoulders doing that, and Ismail just, was tears rolling down his face, he turned round to me and went, "it's so beautiful, god!" But it was entirely genuine, this is a, you know, this is a man who wore his heart on his sleeve, and at that point, I went, "oh, this is not the big bad wolf," and he was immensely generous to me, and I became very, very, very fond of him."

E. M. FORSTER via RUTH PRAWER JHABVALA A Room with a View

[Lucy finishes playing the pensione piano. Mr. Beebe claps.]

MR BEEBE May I say something rather daring?

LUCY Oh, Mr. Beebe, You sound like Miss Lavish. Don't tell me you're writing a novel, too.

MR. BEEBE If I were, you would be my heroine. And I should write, “If Miss Honeychurch ever chooses to live as she plays, it will be very exciting. Both for us and for her.”

LUCY Mother doesn't like me playing Beethoven. She says I'm always peevish after.

MR. BEEBE Naturally … One would be … Stirred up. Won't you play some more?

LUCY No, I think I'll go out.

MR. BEEBE Alone? Is that wise, Miss Honeychurch?

LUCY To be wise one might have stayed at home in Summer Street. I'll not go far, I promise.

re-watched maurice again. my heart feels so weak I can hardly breathe

#why did I do this #I had hoped to not cause myself pain and try to feel joy everyday this year #now the third day starts with physical pain akin to multiple stabs in the chest #not an ounce of sleep in these eyes #wishing I'd drop dead #james ivory and ismail merchant #idk what kinda crack you put in that film #what kinda crack richard robbins was on while creating the soundtrack #but lord if I even think about it for one second #I'll not stop sobbing for the rest of the night #2 am ramblings #maurice #em forster #james ivory #ismail merchant #hugh grant #james wilby #rupert everett

@Maurice Fandom: While we’re at Wilbury and Crichel, you need to know that Kit Hesketh Harvey (1957–2023) actually wrote an obituary for Maria Britneva/Maria St Just (1921–1994) – the owner of Wilbury Park / Maurice’s Pendersleigh and Mrs Sheepshanks/‘Woolly’ in the film, which also features her two labradors.

‘Obituary: Maria St Just’, by Kit Hesketh Harvey, Independent, 25 Feb 1994.

It’s quite a read. (‘on seeing that I was badly hurt, Maria howled with laughter ... Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, hearing the story, murmured that she liked the sound of Maria.’) But KHH, curiously, never mentions Maurice. Here he is on set at Wilbury in 1986 helping Ismail and the crew to pull Clive and Anne’s carriage. (Set photography by Jon Gardey, from Robert Emmet Long, The Films of Merchant Ivory, 1991/1992.)
