James Ivory

Best known for the films he made during his four-decade collaboration with producer Ismail Merchant and screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, James Ivory is an elegant stylist with a unique perspective on expatriate life. His graceful camera movements and treatment of point-of-view perfectly complement his moving explorations of the passage of time. The portrait film in this room leads into the exploration of Ivory's collaborations and working method in Room 2 and the analysis of different aspects of Ivory's aesthetic approach in Room 3.
