	James Ivory - Films as Director:, Other Films:
		The naturalism of Ivory's style often perfectly complements the director's interest in the dynamics of isolated communities: the drama troupe in Shakespeare Wallah, for example, or the dancers in Roseland, or the members of the New York downtown-punk scene in Slaves of New York.
		Ivory's films characteristically trace the formation of community around a common interest—or, more often, a common flaw or a shared loss—and his powers of observation are enlivened by attention to minute details of gesture and a keen sympathy for marginal characters.
		Ivory portrays the widowed Jefferson falling in love with a married woman (Greta Scacchi) and having a sexual tryst with Sally Hemings (Thandie Newton), an adolescent slave.

		Ivory in two high-backed chairs in his Essex House hotel room in New York City recently to discuss "The Golden Bowl" and other matters.
		He fell in love easily many, many times as an older man, but he was never writing from any sort of sense of a happy love affair or a happy life or anything of that kind.
		It was about Henry James' feelings for his own brother, William, and how that relationship was probably of all the relationships in James' life the strongest and most compelling.

		Credited to James Ivory, there's every reason to believe his protestations that AIP butchered the work when they cut it from two hours to 100 minutes, for the end result is thrown together in the most random manner possible.
		Most significantly is that this is the version that James Ivory had submitted to the studio, which then recut it for distribution through American International.
		Ivory is not a sensationalist, if anything his films incorporate sex to advance the story, here the wildness of the party is just a by product of a much richer story.

		Richardson saves this film from being a total disaster with her emotional, sad, seen-it-all and then seen-it-all again portrayal of a woman who had to give up everything: money, clothes, position, a country in order to save her life, the life of her daughter and the lives of her aunt and mother.
		There is a good audio commentary by director James Ivory and actress Natasha Richardson that touches on many aspects of making the film: sets, photography, hair and make-up, casting in China, actors, etc. Richardson keeps the commentary moving along at a nice pace, prodding Ivory on a variety of subjects and discussing her own performance.

		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.

Forster), "Surviving Picasso" (based on the book by Arianna Huffington), and "The Remains of the Day" (based on the Kazuo Ishiguro novel), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award in 1994.

		The celebrated trio of director James Ivory, producer Ismail Merchant, and screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala were perfectly suited to this time-skipping story of thwarted romance, based on Jhabvala's novel, in which the colonial British find themselves perpetually at odds with the vibrant rhythms of India.
		In this most sensual of environments, two related British women, separated by six decades, discover that their independent spirits are not entirely welcomed within the confines of colonial etiquette.
		Jhabvala's feminism is subtle but forcefully dramatized, and under Ivory's sensitive direction, this tale of two women is a defiantly resonant tribute to love wherever one may find it.
