  • Heat and Dust
    Heat and Dust Directed by James Ivory BAFTA-winning screenplay by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, based on her Booker Prize-winning novel UK 1983, 130 mins, Cert 15 A BFI release STUNNING NEW 4K RESTORATION With Julie Christie, Shashi Kapoor, Greta Scacchi Christopher Cazenove, Madhur Jaffrey, Nickolas Grace Opening at BFI Southbank and cinemas UK-wide from 8 March 2019 20 February 2019 – Cross-cutting between the 1920s and the 1980s to tell two related stories in parallel, Merchant Ivory’s high-spirited and romantic epic of self-discovery, starring Julie Christie, Shashi Kapoor, and Greta Scacchi in her breakthrough role, is also a lush evocation of the sensuous beauty of India. Originally released in 1983, Heat and Dust returns to the big screen on 8 March 2019, beautifully restored in 4K by Cohen Media Group, New York and playing at BFI Southbank and selected cinemas UK- wide. Merchant Ivory’s Shakespeare Wallah (1965), starring Felicity Kendal and Shashi Kapoor as star-crossed lovers, will play in tandem, in an extended run at BFI Southbank from the same date, in a new restoration. In 1961, producer Ismail Merchant (1936-2005) and writer/director James Ivory (b. 1928) visited the German-born novelist Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (1927-2013), then living in Delhi, with a proposal to make a film of her novel The Householder. Jhabvala wrote the screenplay for the film herself and the legendary Merchant-Ivory-Jhabvala partnership was inaugurated, with the film released in 1963. Shakespeare Wallah, the trio’s second film together, was their first collaboration on an original project.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • Ivory, James (B. 1928), and Ismail Merchant (1936-2005) by Patricia Juliana Smith
    Ivory, James (b. 1928), and Ismail Merchant (1936-2005) by Patricia Juliana Smith Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Perhaps the most enduring and influential gay partnership in film history, James Ivory and Ismail Merchant are known for their visually sumptuous period pieces based on familiar literary works. So closely intertwined was this team that many assume that "Merchant Ivory" is the name of one individual. But while associated in many minds with British literary and cultural traditions, their professional and personal relationship actually brought together diverse elements of American and Indian culture. James Francis Ivory, who is the director in Merchant Ivory Productions, was born in Berkeley, California on June 7, 1928. After graduating from the University of Oregon, he received an advanced degree from the University of Southern California School of Cinema and Television in 1957. His first film was an acclaimed documentary about Venice, and his second, The Sword and the Flute, examined Indian art. In 1960, at a New York screening of this latter film, he met his future partner and collaborator. Ismail Noormohamed Abdul Rehman, later Merchant, was born December 25, 1936, in Bombay, India. He came to the United States as a student, and received an M.B.A. degree from New York University, a background that prepared him for his role as the producer and business mind of the partnership. While working for an advertising agency, he produced a film based on Indian myth, Creation of Woman (1961), which earned an Academy Award for Best Short Subject.

  • Introduction – Liberal, Humanist, Modernist, Queer? Reclaiming Forster’S Legacies
    Notes Introduction – Liberal, Humanist, Modernist, Queer? Reclaiming Forster’s Legacies 1. For another comprehensive monograph on different models of intertextual- ity, see Graham Allen, Intertextuality (2000). 2. See Bloom (1973). Bloom’s self-consciously idiosyncratic study has received mixed responses; its drive against formalist depersonalization has been appreciated by prominent thinkers such as Jonathan Culler, who affirms that ‘[t]urning from texts to persons, Bloom can proclaim intertextuality with a fervor less circumspect than Barthes’s, for Barthes’s tautologous naming of the intertextual as “déjà lu” [“already read”] is so anticlimactic as to preclude excited anticipations, while Bloom, who will go on to name precursors and describe the titanic struggles which take place on the battlefield of poetic tra- dition, has grounds for enthusiasm’ (1976, p. 1386; my translation). Other critics, such as Peter de Bolla, have attempted to find points of compromise between intertextuality and influence. He offers that ‘the anxiety that a poet feels in the face of his precursor poet is not something within him, it is not part of the psychic economy of a particular person, in this case a poet, rather it is the text’ (1988, p. 20). He goes on to add that ‘influence describes the relations between texts, it is an intertextual phenomenon’ (p. 28). De Bolla’s attempt at finding a crossroads between formalist intertextuality and Bloomian influence leans perhaps too strategically towards Kristeva’s more fashionable vocabulary and methodology, but it also points productively to the text as the material expression of literary influence. 3. For useful discussions and definitions of Forster’s liberal humanism, including its indebtedness to fin de siècle Cambridge, see Nicola Beauman, 1993; Peter Childs, 2007; Michael Levenson, 1991; Peter Morey, 2000; Parry, 1979; David Sidorsky, 2007.

Two people caught in this maelstrom forge a bond on the brink of the Japanese invasion: a beautiful Russian countess, reduced by circumstances to supporting her family as a bar girl and taxi dancer; and a blind former diplomat, devastated by the loss of his family in political violence and disillusioned by the world’s inability to make peace. The story revolves around “The White Countess,” the elegant nightclub created by the diplomat to shut out the chaos and tragedy that surround him. 2 Principal Cast Jackson Ralph Fiennes Sofia Natasha Richardson Aunt Sara Vanessa Redgrave Olga Lynn Redgrave Greshenka Madeleine Potter Uncle Peter John Wood Katya Madeleine Daly Matsuda Hiroyuki Sanada Samuel Allan Corduner Liu Luoyong Wang Principal Crew Director James Ivory Producer Ismail Merchant Original Screenplay Kazuo Ishiguro Co-Producer Paul Bradley Co-Producer Richard Hawley Director of Photography Christopher Doyle Music Richard Robbins Editor

    International Multidisciplinary e –Journal.Author:( Jayalekshmi N S, Dr. Babitha Justin )(07-16) The Householder : A Comedy within the Times of Nehruvian Nationalism Jayalekshmi N S. 1Research Scholar, Dept. of Humanities, Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Kerala Dr. Babitha Justin. 2Assistant Professor, Dept. of Humanities, Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Kerala Abstract: It is obvious that the Bollywood movies of the early postcolonial period had a poignant played up social angle as they served as excellent commentaries on the socio-political conditions of the new-born nation. In contrast to Bollywood movies of the time, James Ivory’s The Householder documents Nehruvian nationalism through a transnational lens. As the debut feature film of Merchant-Ivory Productions, it orientalises the ethos and class struggles through the middle class Prem, who later becomes the mouthpiece of Nehru, in his attitudes and achievements. This paper critically analyses the gendered portrayal of Indian middle class in an age of various socio-cultural transitions,with reference to the conflicts of tradition and modernity, Eastern and Western philosophy of life and nostalgia of the perplexed protagonists.
