On 20 December, as part of its Thursday Essentials cycle, Verdi Cinemes will be screening Howards End, an intense drama directed by James Ivory that originally premiered in 1992. The film won three Oscars, including the best actress award for Emma Thompson. In the film, which is set in Edwardian Britain, Thompson and Helena Bonham Carter play the role of two cultured, emancipated sisters who make friends with the traditional Wilcox family. The sisters’ modern attitudes means that their relationship ends badly.
