Daybill,
The Remains of the Day
is a 1993 drama film directed by James Ivory and starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. The movie is an adaptation of the 1989 Booker Prize-winning novel by Kazuo Ishiguro.
The film's plot follows James Stevens (Hopkins), a devoted English butler, and Miss Kenton (Thompson), the housekeeper at Darlington Hall in the years leading up to World War II. While Stevens maintains his professional decorum and loyalty to his master, Lord Darlington, even as the Lord's Nazi sympathies become apparent, he struggles to express his feelings for Miss Kenton. The story is a poignant exploration of duty, emotional restraint, and the regret of missed opportunities.
The film was a critical and box office success, earning eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Hopkins, and Best Actress for Thompson. |
