Howards End (1992)

Forster's classic English novel about shifting attitudes and values (and gender roles) at the turn-of-the-century balances a terrific cast with a beautiful visual style that underscores the beauty of the natural world in a rapidly modernizing era.

Context

[quotefeeling]

“We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won’t do harm - yes, choose a place where you won’t do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.”

— E.M. Forster
