Merchant Ivory, a James Ivory, Ismail Merchant documentary, by Stephen Soucy

19 November 2024

Filmmakers James Ivory, the late Ismail Merchant, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, who collaborated as Merchant Ivory, made over forty features between 1963 and 2009. I think you’d be hard pressed to find any well-known actor of recent decades who did not work with them.

My favourite is A Room with a View, which I’ve written about a few times, though The Remains of the Day, is also up there. Now a documentary, appropriately titled Merchant Ivory, trailer, which chronicles their work and lives, has been made by Stephen Soucy. Required viewing for fans, I think.
