❝Now, we shan't never be parted. It's finished.❞
∘₊──── • ♧ • ✧ • ♧ • ────₊∘
An absolutely gorgeous adaptation of one of my favourite novels, Maurice is well-directed and acted, and features some of the best hair I've ever seen on men.
I can't imagine what it must have felt like to grow up hearing everyone around you denounce your heart as evil, and ending up finding solace and love in someone unexpected, only for him to distance himself and succumb to society. In all fairness, it's easy to understand why Clive took the path he did, but it doesn't stop one questioning what could've been.
James Wilby and Hugh Grant were perfect as Maurice and Clive, and they had great chemistry together (I will say though that Clive was right; those moustaches were revolting and he should've shaved his off, too). Rupert Graves was a big surprise, because I'm not too familiar with a lot of his work besides Sherlock and A Room with a View, but he was excellent as Alec, and worked well with James.
I loved the soft visuals and cinematography, which created a dreamy and melancholic atmosphere that drew me in. And with the beautiful soundtrack weaving in and out, the ambience was simultaneously calming and unsettling.
Maurice is an unquestionably stunning film, and happy Pride Month to everyone 🏳️🌈!
