About this product

Product Information

E.M. Forster's provocative 1914 novel, published posthumously in 1971, is brought to the screen by director James Ivory in this beautifully photographed film. Set in pre-World War I England, the film concerns the coming of age of two young men who meet at Cambridge University and fall in love. Maurice (James Wilby, who played Anthony Hopkins's son, Charles Wilcox, in REMAINS OF THE DAY) and Clive (Hugh Grant) struggle with their hearts within the confines of a rigid society's moral hypocrisy. Clive eventually succumbs to a traditional life after witnessing the social banishment and imprisonment endured by another gay friend, Viscount Risley (Mark Tandy). But Maurice struggles with his sexual desires and chooses a more difficult, but honest, way of life. When a young gamekeeper (Rupert Graves) returns his affections, Maurice experiences his first real happiness. The film deals with trademark Merchant-Ivory themes involving individuals who are trapped by their society's strict conventions and who often attempt to break free, with varying consequences of fulfillment or disaster.

Enjoyable and Touching Film Well Done
This film is set in the Edwardian Era in England and the social morays that accompanied it. The movie is well filmed with thoughtful direction, appropriate settings and costumes with very good acting. The setting involves the friendship between two old boarding school chums who shared a great affection for each other in school. Once they graduated school, one of the chums decides to pursue a romance with a young lady. The other decides to develop his affections for the same sex. The film shows the trials and tribulations of such pursuits and the difference between the gentrified class and the working class. It is an enjoyable and touching film well done.

Two Deleted Scenes Make the Movie
This is an excellent movie about sexual repression in England during an earlier era. Two of the most important scenes were cut from the original movie, but are included on this CD as deleted scenes. They are of poor quality, but their content adds greatly to the movie. Especially the clip that includes, "You won't see me and you don't love me. I was yours til death if you'd cared to keep me, once, but I'm someone else's now."

The Cost of the Refusal of the English to accept Human Nature
MAURICE is a story about three men, and roads taken or not taken. Maurice Hall and Clive Durham are students at university. They meet and fall in love at a time in Britain when homosexual relationships between consenting adults, which both were, were illegal and punishable by draconian terms of imprisonment at "hard labour" or with flogging, or both. Maurice and Clive never consummate their love. Ultimately, Clive marries a rich, naive young woman who remains that way. Durham is running for a seat in parliament and gives Hall the run of Durham's estate, Pendersleigh. The under game keeper at Pendersleigh, Alec Scudder, is very attracted to Maurice, and one night enters Maurice' bedroom through a window and to Maurice' surprise, makes love to him, despite the difference in their social classes. .Maurice is, at last, no longer a virgin. There is a series of misunderstandings and miscommunications between Hall and Scudder. Scudder has planned to emigrate with his brother to Argentina, but at the last minute abandons that plan in order to take-up a life with Maurice Hall. Ishmael Merchant and James Ivory, as was their wont, created a visually sumptious film with some of the finest actors in Britain in the cast. This 2-DVD set has added background material which illuminates the story even more.Read full review

Maurice
The gay version of Lady Chatterley's Lover by gay writer DH Lawrence, Maurice, written by another gay author, EM Forster, is one of the best gay romantic films ever made. On a par with Another Country and Brokeback Mountain, with no effeminate types or the stereotypes we've come to see on TV of late. The plot shows that real love, no matter if it is gay or heterosexual, surpasses all things - in this case, the Victorian class structure and the tainted 'goodness' of Christianity in days gone by. What a happy ending. Everyone gay or heterosexual must see this one.
