Synopsis
MERCHANT IVORY is the first definitive documentary to lend new and compelling perspectives on the partnership, both professional and personal, of director James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant.
Footage from more than fifty interviews, clips, and archival material gives voice to the family of actors and technicians who helped define Merchant Ivory’s Academy Award-winning work of consummate quality and intelligence. With six Oscar winners among the notable artists participating, these close and often long-term collaborators intimately detail the transformational cinematic creativity and personal and professional drama of the wandering company that left an indelible impact on film culture.
As well as watching this fascinating insight into the collaboration behind such classics, don’t miss the chance to revisit their acclaimed works Howards End and The Remains of the Day.
