THE REMAINS OF THE DAY (BLU-RAY)

“One of the best films of the year?a stinging comedy of manners set against a background of political and emotional turmoil. As Stevens, the perfect butler, Sir Anthony Hopkins gives a landmark performance of true romantic longing.”
?Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“A spellbinding tragi-comedy of high and most entertaining order…an exquisite work…so lucid and so minutely detailed that it has its own triumphant life…history and metaphors never get in the way of the film's piercing social and psychological comedy.”
?Vincent Canby, The New York Times

Adapted by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (and an uncredited Harold Pinter) from the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day (1993) is brought to the screen by the celebrated filmmaking team of director James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant. The singular Anthony Hopkins incarnates an enigmatic figure: Stevens, the perfect English butler at the stately home of Lord Darlington (James Fox). Stevens’ highly ordered life is ruffled by the arrival of a lively new housekeeper, Miss Kenton (a marvelous Emma Thompson), and the encroachment of apparently pro-Nazi appeasement politics as the 1930s come to an uneasy close. Also starring Christopher Reeve and Hugh Grant.
