Overview

The distinguished director/producer/writer team of James Ivory, Ismail Merchant, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala returns to the works of 19th century novelist Henry James in this adaptation of his tale of love and treachery. Wealthy American art collector Adam Verver Nick Nolte is traveling Europe with his daughter Maggie Kate Beckinsale following the death of his wife. In their travels, Adam and Maggie encounter Mrs. Assingham Anjelica Huston, an American socialite who enjoys playing matchmaker, whether or not her subjects are interested. She introduces Maggie to Prince Amerigo Jeremy Northam, a handsome but penniless member of Italian royalty, and after a bit of prodding, they announce their intention to marry. Mrs. Assingham also pushes Adam into a relationship with Charlotte Uma Thurman, a close friend of Maggie, and they too decide to wed. However, no one else knows that Amerigo and Charlotte were once lovers, who broke off their relationship because he couldn't marry a commoner with no money. Their passion is eventually too strong to resist, and they embark on an adulterous affair, which becomes even more dangerous when Mrs. Assingham learns of it. The Golden Bowl was Merchant/Ivory/Jhabvala's third film based on a James novel, following The Europeans 1979 and The Bostonians 1984. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble
The names Ismail Merchant producer and James Ivory director pretty much assure a literate, thought-provoking film, and The Golden Bowl is no exception. The latest of their beautifully produced adaptations of Henry James novels, it opens in 1903, as American tycoon Adam Verver Nick Nolte whips through Europe buying everything in sight. He collects statues, houses, paintings, and even a husband --impoverished Italian nobleman Amerigo Jeremy Northam -- for his daughter Maggie Kate Beckinsale. Unbeknownst to the bride, however, the groom has carried on a torrid affair with her best friend Uma Thurman, who still loves the dashing rake and takes up with Maggie's father to maintain proximity to Amerigo. Typically for a Merchant-Ivory production, The Golden Bowl can be counted on for sumptuous production values, intelligent storytelling and excellent performances from a stellar cast. The James novel, which relies for much if its effectiveness on things left unsaid, provides a real challenge for screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, who rises to the occasion splendidly. Long, dramatically meaty, occasionally ponderous but always absorbing, The Golden Bowl is certain to validate any viewer's confidence in the Merchant-Ivory pedigree. Ivory contributes a full-length commentary to the DVD release.
New York Times
Handsome, faithful, intelligent screen adaptation.

    Brilliant Adaptation

    This is the finest of all Merchant/Ivory adaptations of the novels by Henry James. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala has brilliantly developed the screenplay which splendidly defines the major themes and narrative concerns of the complex novel. This is not 'entertainment' for the simple-minded, but a feast for those whose consciousness demands serious visual/literary engagement. Truly, the term 'masterpiece' applies here.

    Sorry....

    I thought the whole thing was awful. I just finished watching it actually and came directly to my computer to type a review. At least rent it before deciding to buy it. The story line seemed filled with potential but was made to be very drawn out and easily predicted. The acting, I'm so sorry, was just awful. The ending was a great disappointment. Maybe it might be of quality for others, but I was very disappointed.
