- BFI Flare LGBTQ+ Film Festival 2018, Monday 26 March 2018.
This year’s highlights included the first UK public screening of the Cohen Film Collection’s beautiful new 30th Anniversary digital restoration of Merchant Ivory Productions’ groundbreaking gay classic Maurice (1987), directed by James Ivory and adapted by Ivory and Kit Hesketh-Harvey from E. M. Forster’s posthumously published novel (1971).
The screening was introduced by the BFI’s Acting Director of Festivals Tricia Tuttle and two very special guests: Maurice’s stars James Wilby (Maurice Hall) and Hugh Grant (Clive Durham), who were both cast back in 1986 as young unknowns and shared the Volpi Cup Best Actor Award at the 1987 Venice Film Festival for their performances (as they recount in some evocative and colourful anecdotes!)
Listen carefully early in the recording and you might catch someone in the audience asking ‘Where’s Scudder?’ A fair question: Maurice’s third star Rupert Graves (Alec Scudder) wasn’t present. - Розваги
their voices never changed one bit
TBF, Rupert Graves has always kind of looked younger than he did.
He’s 60 now, but looks like he could pass for mid to late 40’s now.
What a lucky audience!
Thanks! The official BFI video interview with James and Hugh will have been done on the same date, before or after this. My feeling is that they’d probably not seen each other for years and spent a bit of time in the hospitality room. :) SUCH a big treat to see them live.
I was obsessed with this film. I was 22 when it came out. It gave me hope.
I’M CRYING, I LOVE THEM. I WISH I WAS THERE😭😭😭😭
Sameeee omg
Loved this! Nice to see the humorous exchanges between the two, Hugh Grant's wit is undying and James Wilby seems like an amazing human being :)
This film is my favorite one. Love the interview.
Omg I loveeee these two!! Hugh grant is so charismatic and funny 💙
Where's Rupert Graves?it would have been great to all three male lead present. Classic British movie.
I wish we knew! See my comment in the video description: you’re not the first to ask. :)
Oh naaurr I wish I cud watch the 4k restoration of it!!!
Grant still beautiful man
Stillll beautiful Grant
Yeah he has a great head of hair still
Love. Them.
I love

Amazing that Wilby would soon star as the nasty violent Charles in Howards End in 1992. Such a different character than Maurice.
Ivory points out that Charles Wilcox and Maurice have quite a lot in common - but Maurice’s sexuality saves him from becoming another Charles. Wilby is brilliant as both.
I recognized him at once in Howard’s End. When Charles got married to Dolly I said “Apparently the leopard CAN change his spots!” The actors playing Lord Risley and the schoolteacher in the beginning are in Howard’s End as well.
@@lukasmiller486is Howard's end/room the same thing?? Issit room w a view? Idgi
I don't think Rupert Graves does many interviews, or attends many events such as this. He's never been on any of the usual chat shows etc., like everyone else has
Where can I watch the restoration?
I bought it on Amazon a few years ago. It comes with extra interviews too.
I believe the version streaming on Tubu is the restored version.
@@jimyoung194620omg there's interviews?? Do u knw whr I cn find it online?
It would have been so much less clumsy and awkward if they had 3 chairs they could have sat down on. Just fold-up chairs that could be whisked away before the film started.
Yeah let the men sit haha

It would have been better to have Rupert there instead of Hugh, who seems a bit impatient and almost rude to the host.
What was rude about what he said? I thought he was funny and stopped things from being too serious. Grant has said in the past that actors take themselves too seriously. He has never taken himself seriously. I take it you have never seen a Hugh Grant interview. He has a very dry sense of humor.
Hugh is always like that. He’s not rude, he just has a dry sense of humor. He never takes any of his movie interviews seriously bc he thinks actors take themselves too seriously. Just keep in mind he used write jokes for radio show hosts for a living before he got into acting so
Hw was he rude??? He was bein funny and eased the tension! F off
