Another brief factoid posting.
Ismail Merchant dead at 68.
"Merchant died surrounded by family and friends at a hospital in London, Merchant Ivory Productions said."
"Their hits — especially E.M. Forster adaptations like "A Room With a View" and "Howards End" — helped revive the public's taste for well-made, emotionally literate period drama."

I'll miss his filmmaking. It's not that I'm mad-keen on period dramas, it's that I was happy to see someone making that sort of independent film.
