PRIDE on SCREEN retrospective screening. 35th anniversary!

High Grant, James Wilby, Denholm Elliot, Rupert Graves, Simon Callow and Ben Kingsley star in MAURICE, James Ivory’s prize-winning drama of a young man trapped by oppressive society as he comes to terms with his sexuality.

Maurice Hall (James Wilby) enters Cambridge in 1909 where he befriends the wealthy Clive Durham (Hugh Grant). Their friendship grows before the two men begin to develop strong romantic feelings for one another. Embarking on an intense but chaste affair, their relationship gradually becomes more difficult to conceal. James Ivory explores the ramifications of forbidden desire during Edwardian times through this powerful love story, screening theatrically for the first time in Australia in years during Pride Month at Cinema Nova.
