Set against the stifling conformity of pre–World War I English society, E.M. Forster’s Maurice is a story of coming to terms with one’s sexuality and identity in the face of disapproval and misunderstanding. Maurice Hall (James Wilby) and Clive Durham (Hugh Grant) find themselves falling in love at Cambridge. In a time when homosexuality was punishable by imprisonment, the two must keep their feelings for one another a complete secret. Sparkling direction by James Ivory, distinguished performances from the ensemble cast, and a charged score by Richard Robbins all combine to create a film of immense power. Maurice is a romantic, moving story of love and self-discovery for all audiences.

IMDB | Criterion | Wikipedia | Rotten Tomatoes

Maurice offers everything we expect from a Merchant Ivory film - beautiful locations, a who's who of top British actors and an insight into the world of the repressed upper classes. On top of that, however, we get a delicately handled expression of homosexual love and an account of the difficulty of being gay at a time when it was illegal for men to have sex.

Maurice (Wilby) and Clive (Grant, in his first major role) are students at Cambridge, close friends whose attachment is actually something more. Clive expresses his love for Maurice, but is only looking for an idealised, platonic relationship, whereas the initially reluctant Maurice is after a more sexual communion. Both men, however, are frightened off when their gay friend is arrested and sentenced to six months hard labour. Clive takes refuge in a respectable marriage, while Maurice's hypnotist advises fresh air, country walks and the shooting of small animals as a "cure" for his homosexuality.

Fortunately for Maurice, that advice leads him straight into the arms of his lusty gamekeeper Alec Scudder (Graves), and together the pair take on society's social and sexual prejudices. The director makes much play of how posh Edwardian society struggles to decide which is worse - that Maurice shagging a man or that he's shagging a commoner.

It goes almost without saying that the period is evoked wonderfully well, with lots of floppy haired youths lying around various Cambridge colleges and English stately homes, and the acting is universally good. Hugh Grant is worryingly convincing as the effete Clive, while Wilby and Graves, who unfairly get a lower billing in the film's repackaged publicity, conspire to make their slightly unbelievable relationship convincing.

Maurice (1987) [The Criterion Collection] [ReUp]

Of the three film adaptations of the works of E.M. Forster mounted by the Merchant/Ivory production team, Maurice (1987) failed to garner the degree of popular acceptance afforded to A Room With A View (1986) and Howards End (1992). The controversial nature of the story's subject matter, the homosexual awakening of a young Edwardian, was no doubt a factor; the novel itself, which Forster penned in the 1910s, never saw print until after his death in 1970. It's unfortunate, as the film is a compellingly told story of a man coming to grips with his sexual identity in an unforgiving era. Home Vision Entertainment's recent DVD release of Maurice offers up much that will please the film's adherents. While the company has been doing a superlative job in their recent string of Merchant/Ivory offerings under the Criterion Collection label, enough extras have been culled to warrant their presentation on a second disk.

Arriving on Cambridge's campus in 1909, the middle-class Maurice Hall (James Wilby) develops an undeniable attraction to his urbane, witty classmate Clive Durham (Hugh Grant). While Clive fully reciprocates his affections, he keeps the relationship unconsummated and in line with a Socratic ideal. After clashing with the school's dean (Barry Foster), Maurice opts to pursue a career at a brokerage, while maintaining his bond with Clive. After graduation, however, Clive feels bound to follow the political ambitions that his well-off family have for him, and the pursuit of those goals leave no room for any form of scandalous behavior.

The devastated Maurice struggles to deal with his sense of self-loathing, seeking aid from the family doctor (Denholm Elliott) and a hypnotherapist (Ben Kingsley) to change his orientation. Clive still seeks to curry his continued friendship, inviting him back to the family estate to meet his new bride. During his sojourns to the Durham home, Maurice soon receives a surprising level of familiarity from the estate's young servant-class gamekeeper Scudder (Rupert Graves). Over the remainder of the narrative, Maurice must come to terms with Scudder's motivations, as well as his own sense of self.
