Howards End

Howards End (1992) distills E.M. Forster’s intricate novel into a portrait of early 20th-century England, where the Schlegel sisters, Margaret and Helen, navigate a world of shifting class boundaries and moral dilemmas. Amidst the genteel drawing rooms and industrial grime, their entanglements with the Wilcoxes and the lower-class Basts illustrate the clash between old money and new morality, encapsulating the era’s social upheaval with quiet precision.
