The Remains of the Day
1993
****
Director: James Ivory
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, James Fox, Christopher Reeve
Prior to WW2 Mr. Stevens and Miss Kenton both worked for Lord Darlington who ended up making some very foolish choices. This excellent, slow-burning drama tells their repressed love story. Emma Thompson is great as the housekeeper and Anthony Hopkins is awesome as the butler who never shows his emotions. Based on Kazuo Ishiguro's novel.
