		Henry James, author of the novel on which this Ruth Prawer Jhabvala screenplay is based, uses the gilded bowl as a metaphor for love and marriage, focusing on two couples, whose overlapping relationships and marriages prove to be as fragile and damaged as the bowl.
		TGB is a long dense intensely internal book but it has been faithfully rendered by a screenwriter who boldly brought the violence and threat at the core of the book forward in a fascinating sort of prologue, and made one of the book's most famous images, the Pagoda, part of a nightmare.

		The Greek temples, Palladian Churches, pagodas, golden baths, corruscations of solar and purple light; the red blaze of galleons aflame, the invocations of Io, Ariadne, Tristan and Isolde: all these metaphors of sublimity, culled from the stock-in-trade of French poets and romanciers, signify the pandemic vanity and vertiginous confusion of Fawns.

		Such literary adaptations as these, as well as A Room with a View, Maurice, Howards End, The Remains of the Day, and now The Golden Bowl, are clearly a Merchant Ivory forte - the team has thirty-one Academy Award nominations and six Oscars for their screen adaptations, including two for writer Ruth Jhabvala, between them.
		But these films are also consistent showcases for their actors' best work, and The Golden Bowl is no exception.

		That’s the kind of cop-out which becomes a fatal flaw, just like the hairline crack in the title’s golden bowl which turns something which could be truly distinctive into a rather commonplace curiosity.

		The Golden Bowl is one of James’ racier stories — at least as racy as they got in his time — and that definitely comes across on the screen.
		Circling the periphery of the story is the puzzling, critical character of Fanny Assingham, portrayed by the ever-excellent Anjelica Huston, who was the matchmaker for Maggie and the prince.
		While The Golden Bowl isn’t the most devastatingly powerful adaptation in the Merchant-Ivory library, it nonetheless is a rich and engaging story about what sacrifices the poor will make to become very wealthy.

	Movie Review: The Golden Bowl \| Mountain Xpress \| mountainx.com
		Like the symbolic golden bowl of the title -- a singularly beautiful item unless studied closely, whereupon the tragic flaw of a crack can be seen -- this is ultimately a film about choosing what we wish to accept as reality.
		What is unique about The Golden Bowl is that the characters are all fully aware of their choices and the faces they wish to put on those choices.
		In The Golden Bowl, the layers of the characters are peeled away, but in so precise a manner that they can be reassembled and the illusion restored.

		Henry James' novel The Golden Bowl is here adapted into one of the most beautiful films yet from the Merchant Ivory stable (and that's saying something given their penchant for fin de siècle subject matter).
		THE GOLDEN BOWL is Merchant-Ivory's adaptation of the Henry James novel of romantic torment--the novel James named as his favorite.
		The bowl is a simple, effective metaphor for the seeming perfection of the relationships in the film.

	AboutFilm.com - The Golden Bowl (2000)
		Based on a Henry James novel, The Golden Bowl goes for the same tragedy-created-by-the-inaction-imposed-by-society's-strictures thing that Merchant/Ivory so fruitfully conveyed in The Remains of the Day and was also effectively portrayed in movies like The Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth.
		One of the main themes of The Golden Bowl is the pretense that is required by society for the sake of others, when in fact everyone is probably well aware of what's going on--including the people supposedly being protected from the hurtful truth.
		The bowl practically screams, "Look at me! I'm a metaphor!" It is, however, interesting that only Amerigo can see the flaw, just as he is the only one who senses that Charlotte's marriage to Adam is a Very Bad Idea.

		ike the title vessel, "The Golden Bowl" is a gilded bibelot, something pretty for the mantelpiece, something more for the maid to dust.
		"The Golden Bowl," the third of the Merchant-Ivory Jamesian melodramas, is far from a total disaster, but it suffers mightily from its deliberate pacing, pale characterizations, obvious plot and some woeful miscasting.
		The lovers also take the opportunity to search for a wedding gift for the bride-to-be: a golden bowl that appears to be in perfect condition but has a well-nigh invisible flaw in its filigree.

	The Golden Bowl
		Like the titular object of Henry James's cleverly camouflaging novel, The Golden Bowl, as adapted by the Ismail Merchant / James Ivory team with their scenarist Ruth Prawer Jhabvala on board to help clarify its narrative complexities, is glamorously gilded.
		Though the four actors do their utmost to help make a story of deceit, betrayal, love, and finally redemption enticing, their work is often overshadowed by the many exotic cosmopolitan sights as the story deliberately moves back and forth from Italy to England with glimpses of America's Industrial Revolution in its early years.
		While Beckinsale gets to do more as The Golden Bowl moves to its second, and more intriguing half, her depth is so opposite the furtive Charlotte that even through her games with honorable intentions, it's not that engaging.

		The Golden Bowl is de derde film naar een boek van Henry James van de regie-productie- scenario-trias James Ivory, Ismail Merchant en Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, vooral bekend van de literatuurverfilmingen Howards End (1991) en The Remains of the Day (1993).
		The Golden Bowl is voor alles dan ook een Ivory-etc. productie en pas dan een Henry James- verfilming.
		Dat The Golden Bowl desondanks zielloos blijft, ligt waarschijnlijk aan de miscast van Uma Thurman en Nick Nolte (als Maggies vader met wie Charlotte later zal trouwen om in de buurt van haar geliefde te blijven) als té onwaarschijnlijk onwaarschijnlijk liefdeskoppel.

	The Golden Bowl
		The titular golden bowl is a gold encrusted piece of crystal presented to Charlotte as a possible wedding gift by an antiques merchant.
		The symbolism of the titular object is wrought throughout the film as the apparent perfection of the golden bowl, like the perfection of the marriages, is suspect and the flaws become obvious to the players and the viewer alike.
		The juxtaposition of the cracks in the bowl and obvious marital flaws of the characters is obvious, and a little heavy-handed, symbolically.

		The literary source, this time, is Henry James's "The Golden Bowl." And for this feel-every-minute, three-hour movie of the same name, producer Ismail Merchant and director James Ivory (who celebrate the longest partnership in independent cinema) have outfitted Nick Nolte, Uma Thurman, Kate Beckinsale and Jeremy Northam with some fine antique costumes.
		When they become interested in a golden bowl, however, they unwittingly start off a tragic chain of events.
		Ultimately, "The Golden Bowl" is a victim of painfully drawn out excessiveness–and not even Thurman's spirited performance solves that.

		Clover Adams nailed him precisely, and forever, with her remark that he "chews more than he bites off." Her witticism is directed at a prose style made up of endless subordination and ambiguity, a worrying of mood and tone so enveloping in its mannered fuzz one frequently loses track of what is actually happening.
		Re-reading The Golden Bowl I was often reminded of the "narcotic effect" I described Agatha Christie's prose as having.
		In The Golden Bowl the archetypal New Comedy situation exists as part of the set-up, but instead of getting around the mean old man and establishing a just new order the lovers are torn apart and sentenced to lives of impotent, loveless bondage.

		Odds are you won't be surprised to learn that a golden bowl figures prominently in The Golden Bowl, Merchant-Ivory's adaptation of the Henry James novel of the same name—but you may be surprised by the heavy representational load this poor object is required to bear.
		For while the bowl is uncommonly beautiful, you see, it hides a dark secret: Those who look closely will be dismayed to discover a tiny, hairline crack lurking beneath its gaudy, baubled surface.
		We're never told how the bowl was cracked, but after a while one suspects that the number of times it's been used to clonk the audience over the head may well have something to do with it.
