Great Directors: James Ivory
American director (as I was corrected!) James Ivory, most often worked with Indian producer Ishmael Merchant, who died in 2005, concentrating their work primarily on adaptations of classic and modern literature. I've never seen an Ivory film that wasn't worth watching. My favorites are Heat and Dust, and A Room With a View, a BAFTA winner for Best Film:

James Ivory is American director, and his father Irish, and mother French. Not British director.
ReplyDeleteJames Ivory is American director (but Father Irish, Mother French). And he still alive. His partner and producer ISMAIL Merchan died in 2005.

Thanks for the correction. Also on which partner died; was sorry to hear that it was either one. Ironic, I was doing this post as a tribute to his whole career, which may not be over!
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be a rarity in film: artists dedicated to perpetuating classic literature transformed into film.
We need more such artists, don't we? Kenneth Branagh is all over the map, I'm still reeling from his apparent musical inability mixed with Shakespeare.. what is he THINKING sometimes?
thanks! so Ivory is Irish-French-American? it must work, he has a great touch.
