Our take
The most celebrated film in the Merchant Ivory canon, this elegant adaptation of the classic novel by E. M. Forster set the gold standard for costume dramas. Starring a host of British screen royalty, A Room With a View takes to Florence for a sumptuous, class-critical tale of summer romance.
