James Ivory's final feature, and his only major film completed after the passing of producer Ismail Merchant, is an elegant swan song. Set largely in Uruguay, the film reworks tropes and motifs familiar from films Ivory made in America, India, the UK, and Italy. Ivory's great themes - the pressures of time, regret, the power of music, the relationship between movement and vision - are explored in a different register, but articulated through a characteristically understated treatment of shifting points-of-view.
