Maurice - The Merchant Ivory Collection
»rank: 6803
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The second of the Merchant/lvory films (A Room with a View, Howard's End), Maurice deals with a theme few period pieces dare mention--a young man's struggle with his homosexuality. lt's not just a gay coming-of-age story, however.
