- Howard's End. This is a somewhat episodic film carried by the exquisite acting
- and the very literate script. Emma Thompson plays a spinster who befriends an
- ailing Vanessa Redgrave (one of her finest performances too), and the
- consequences this relationship has on everyone around them. This film played
- during the summer---it spent an unbelievable six weeks at the theater near my
- home, so I got to see it twice. Anthony Hopkins gives a great performance too
- (worth seeing for anyone who saw Dracula and thought Hopkins gave an off
- performance there).
