==Plot==
In [[Edwardian Era|Edwardian]] Britain, Helen Schlegel becomes engaged to Paul Wilcox during a moment of passion, while staying at the Wilcox family's country home, Howards End. The Schlegels are an intellectual family of Anglo-German [[bourgeoisie]], while the Wilcoxes are conservative and wealthy, led by hard-headed businessman Henry. Helen and Paul quickly decide against the engagement, but she has already sent a telegram informing her sister Margaret, leading to an uproar when the sisters' Aunt Juley arrives and causes a scene.

Months later in London, when the Wilcoxes take a flat across the street from the Schlegels, Margaret resumes her acquaintance with Ruth, Henry's wife. Ruth is descended from English [[yeoman]] stock, and it is through her family that the Wilcoxes have come to own her beloved Howards End. The two women grow close as Mrs. Wilcox's health declines and, unbeknownst to Margaret, a dying Ruth bequeaths Howards End to her. However, the Wilcoxes refuse to believe Ruth would leave the house to a relative stranger and burn her written bequest. Henry develops an attraction to Margaret, assisting her in finding a new home and eventually proposing marriage, which she accepts.

The Schlegels befriend Leonard Bast, a self-improving young clerk who lives with Jacky, a woman of dubious origins. The sisters pass along advice from Henry to the effect that the insurance company Leonard works for is heading for bankruptcy. Leonard quits, settling for a much lower-paying job which is eventually downsized altogether. Helen is later enraged to learn Henry's advice was wrong; Leonard's first employer was perfectly sound but will not reemploy him.

Months later, Henry and Margaret host the wedding of his daughter Evie at his [[Shropshire]] estate. Margaret is shocked when Helen arrives with an impoverished Leonard and Jacky. Considering Henry responsible for their plight, Helen demands his help, but Jacky drunkenly exposes Henry as a former lover from years ago. Henry is ashamed to be revealed as an [[adulterer]], but Margaret forgives him and agrees to send the Basts away. Helen, upset with Margaret's decision to marry a man she loathes, leaves for Germany, but not before giving in to her attraction for Leonard and having sex while out boating. Fearing the Basts will be penniless, Helen instructs her brother Tibby to give them over £5000 of her own money, but Leonard returns the cheque uncashed out of pride, and because of his own feelings for Helen.

Margaret and Henry marry, arranging to use Howards End as storage for Margaret's and her siblings' belongings. After months of hearing from Helen only through postcards, Margaret grows concerned, and Helen returns to England when Aunt Juley falls ill but avoids seeing her family. Believing Helen is mentally unstable, Margaret lures her to Howards End to collect her belongings, arriving herself with Henry and a doctor, and realizes Helen is pregnant. Insisting on returning to Germany to raise her baby alone, Helen asks to stay the night at Howards End but Henry refuses, leading to an argument with Margaret.

Leonard, still living unhappily in poverty with Jacky, has a dream about how he first met Helen. Realizing that he wants to see her again, he travels to Howards End, arriving to find a very pregnant Helen, Margaret, and Henry's brutish eldest son, Charles. Realizing Leonard is the baby's father, Charles assaults him for "dishonoring" Helen and a bookcase collapses on Leonard, who dies of a heart attack. Margaret tells Henry that she is leaving him to help Helen raise her baby, and Henry breaks down, telling her the police inquest will charge Charles with manslaughter.

A year later, Paul, Evie, and Charles's wife, Dolly, gather at Howards End. Henry and Margaret are still together, living with Helen and her young son. Henry tells the others that upon his death, Margaret will inherit Howards End and leave it to her nephew, though Margaret wants none of Henry's money, which will be split among his children. She overhears Dolly point out the irony of Margaret inheriting the house, revealing Mrs. Wilcox's dying wish to leave it to her. Henry tells Margaret he did what he thought was right, but she says nothing.

==Production==
===Financing===
Merchant-Ivory had difficulty securing funding for ''Howards End'', whose budget stood at $8 million. This was considerably larger than those of ''[[Maurice (1987 film)|Maurice]]'' and ''[[A Room with a View (1985 film)|A Room with a View]]'', which led to trouble in raising capital in the UK and the United States. [[Orion Pictures]], the film's distributor, was on the verge of bankruptcy and contributed only a small amount to the overall budget.<ref name="auto">{{cite video| title=Building Howards End | medium=dvd | publisher=Criterion Collection | year=2005 }}</ref>

A solution presented itself when Merchant Ivory sought funding through an intermediary in Japan, where the previous Forster adaptations, particularly ''Maurice'', had been very successful. Eventually Japanese companies including the [[Sumitomo Corporation]], Japan Satellite Broadcasting, and the [[Imagica]] Corporation provided the bulk of the film's financing.

The distribution problem was solved when the heads of [[Orion Classics]] departed the company for [[Sony Pictures]], creating the entirely new division of [[Sony Pictures Classics]]; ''Howards End'' was the first title it acquired and distributed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sonyclassics.com/about-us/|title=Sony Pictures Classics - About Us|publisher=SonyClassics.com}}</ref> In 2022, the division's co-founder [[Michael Barker (film distributor)|Michael Barker]] recalled that, despite a highly lucrative offer for distribution rights from [[Harvey Weinstein]] of [[Miramax|Miramax Films]], [[Ismail Merchant]] was content choosing Sony's relatively smaller offer of $1 million instead.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sony Classics Chiefs On The Key To Longevity & The Power Of Theatrical: "Movie Stars Are Made On The Screen, Not The Stream" — Zurich Summit|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|first=Andreas|last=Wiseman|date=22 September 2022|access-date=13 April 2024|url=https://deadline.com/2022/09/sony-pictures-classics-power-theatrical-movie-stars-made-screen-not-stream-1235126420/}}</ref>

===Casting===
[[Anthony Hopkins]] accepted the part of Henry Wilcox after reading the script, passed to him by a young woman who was helping edit ''[[Slaves of New York]]'' and ''[[The Silence of the Lambs (film)|The Silence of the Lambs]]'' simultaneously in the same building.

[[Phoebe Nicholls]], [[Joely Richardson]], [[Miranda Richardson]], and [[Tilda Swinton]] were all considered for the part of Margaret Schlegel before [[Emma Thompson]] accepted the role. James Ivory was unfamiliar with Thompson before she was recommended to him by [[Simon Callow]], who had a small cameo appearance as the music lecturer in the concert scene.<ref name="Film Society of Lincoln Center">{{cite video| url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp0jtO-Os3A| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/Vp0jtO-Os3A| archive-date=2021-12-11 | url-status=live| title='Howards End' Q&A James Ivory| author=Film Society of Lincoln Center| publisher=YouTube.com| date=2016-07-28| access-date=2018-08-06}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

[[Jemma Redgrave]] (Evie Wilcox), who played the daughter of [[Vanessa Redgrave]]'s character (Ruth Wilcox), is her niece off-screen. [[Samuel West]], who played Leonard Bast, is the son of [[Prunella Scales]], who played Aunt Juley.

According to James Ivory, although Vanessa Redgrave was his preferred choice for the role of Ruth Wilcox, her participation was uncertain until the last moment, because she was committed to other projects and it took some time to negotiate an acceptable salary.<ref name="Film Society of Lincoln Center"/><ref>{{cite video| title=Howards End Commentary by Ismail Merchant & James Ivory| medium=dvd| publisher=Criterion Collection| year=2005}}</ref> When she did agree to play Mrs. Wilcox, she mistakenly believed she would be playing Margaret; only when she showed up on set to begin filming her scenes did the person in Hair and Makeup explain that she would be playing the ''elder'' Mrs. Wilcox.<ref name="Film Society of Lincoln Center"/>

===Music===
The score was composed by [[Richard Robbins (composer)|Richard Robbins]], with elements of the score based on [[Percy Grainger]]'s works "Bridal Lullaby" and "Mock Morris". The piano pieces were performed by English concert pianist [[Martin Jones (pianist)|Martin Jones]]. Orchestral works were conducted by [[Harry Rabinowitz]] and performed by the [[English Chamber Orchestra]].<ref>[https://www.soundtrack.net/album/howards-end/ Soundtrack Information /Track Listing] ''www.soundtrack.net'', accessed 2 January 2022</ref>

[[Columbia-TriStar Home Entertainment|Columbia-TriStar]] released the film on [[LaserDisc]] on 2 June 1993.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|title=Laser Scans|first=Chris|last=McGowan|page=51|date=April 24, 1993}}</ref>
[[The Criterion Collection]] released [[Blu-ray]] and [[DVD]] versions of the film on 3 November 2009, which have since gone out of print. The release was unfortunately subject to a bronzing issue which would discolor the disc bronze and render it unplayable, due to a pressing issue at the factory, though not every disc was subject to bronzing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Howards-End-Blu-ray/5698/|title = Howards End Blu-ray | publisher=blu-ray.com | accessdate=11 October 2021}}</ref> [[Cohen Film Collection]] released their own special edition Blu-ray on 6 December 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Howards-End-Blu-ray/142539/|title = Howards End Blu-ray Release Date December 6, 2016}}</ref> Although this edition was labelled as remastered in 4k, it is a 1080p Blu Ray disc. However in 2018, [[Concord Video]] released a [[4K Ultra HD]] Region Free edition in Germany.
