~*Another Forster Classic Brought to Film*~
Charles Sturridge’s adaption of E.M. Forster’s classic novel is well in line with such other greats as “Howards End”, “A Room With a View”, and “A Passage To India”. As with all of Forster’s work, “Where Angels Fear to Tread” treats the topic of Edwardian British society with poignancy and humour.

Cultures clash when Philip Herriton is forced by his mother to retrieve the only child of his dead sister-in-law, Lilia, from its Italian father. The baby represents both the English and Italian way of life, and the ensuing struggle over it is an analysis of just how futile our own nativist prejudices can be.

Such a sensitive topic is dealt with by a charming cast. Rupert Graves is perfect as a man transformed by his horrific experiences; Helen Mirren is both laughable and lamentable as the tragically flighty Lilia; Helena Bonham-Carter is the soul of goodness, and Judy Davis (a Forster veteran from “A Passage to India”) provides comic relief as stuffy Harriet. These fine performances are matched with a beautiful score by Rachel Portman and even more beautiful Italian vistas courtesy of Mr. Sturridge.

Stimulating and provocative, I highly recommend this film to those interested in either Forsters’ work or the imperialistic inclinations of the British circa 1900.

Don’t go there!
Charles Sturridge’s large-screen version of E M Forster’s tragicomic masterpiece of class and culture clash is as buttoned up as the corsets and starched shirts it’s characters wear. The movie is wrong-footed and scenes don’t build to anything. Everything is held in reserve until the whole film seems on the verge of disappearing, (which it finally does, unsatisfactorily, racing through the final scenes). While Helena Bonham Carter and Rupert Graves just about get their characters, (you want to slap them, and hard, but at least you feel as if they are real), and Helen Mirren is full of life, (until she dies in childbirth), Judy Davis’ performance as mad aunt Harriet takes her usual screaming harpy to unrestrained heights even for her, while Giovanni Guidelli’s bland, handsome romantic hero is hopelessly inadequate. This is the team that made “Brideshead Revisited” for television; perhaps if they had six hours of TV time they might just have pulled this off as a decent series. Nevertheless, I can’t help feeling that as it stands Merchant/Ivory could have made the masterpiece that Forster’s book so obviously is.
