Merchant Ivory were renowned for their stately period dramas, but the turbulent reality of their sets is at odds with the beautiful images they created on screen. In the new documentary, MERCHANT IVORY, director Stephen Soucy speaks with the filmmaking duo’s collaborators, from Helena Bonham Carter to Hugh Grant, about the making of their era-defining films. Watch the film in cinemas from 6 December.
DIRECTED BY Stephen Soucy
