Last Monday’s Curzon Mayfair gala (above) wasn’t actually the UK launch of Stephen Soucy’s Merchant Ivory documentary. (The doc received its UK premiere at BFI Flare 2024 on 16 March, and the Merchant Ivory family were out in force – a lovely event, and deeply moving.) However, the all-important difference is that James Ivory was/is present last week at the Curzon (and also at the Chiswick Film Festival in west London on 16 November a couple of days earlier!)

There are further images and footage on director Stephen Soucy’s Instagram – including (as glimpsed in the video) a bit more Rupert. <33

Alongside the UK general release of Merchant Ivory, Curzon is also running a Christmas micro-season of Ivory’s films. But I wanted to give a big shoutout to Chiswick Cinema – they’re running a much wider-ranging Ivory retrospective (spread out between now and June 2025), with newly recorded intros to all the films from Ivory! And, unlike the Curzon*, they’re actually screening Maurice (in January).

Il Cinema di Pasolini (Appunti per un Critofilm) (1966) dir. Maurizio Ponzi

[richardstabbert]

Half past twelve. The time has quickly passed since nine o'clock when I first turned up the lamp and sat down here. I've been sitting without reading, without speaking. With whom should I speak, so utterly alone within this house?

The apparition of my body in its youth, since nine o'clock when I first turned up the lamp, has come and found me and reminded me of shuttered perfumed rooms

and of pleasure spent—what wanton pleasure!

And it also brought before my eyes streets made unrecognizable by time, bustling city centres that are no more and theatres and cafés that existed long ago.

The apparition of my body in its youth came and also brought me cause for pain: deaths in the family; separations; the feelings of my loved ones, the feelings of those

long dead which I so little valued.

Half past twelve. How the time has passed.

Half past twelve. How the years have passed. (Constantine Cavafy (1863 - 1933). Since Nine/“Joachim in the mirror” photographer, Richard Stabbert)
