Remains of the Day

1981, ITC Entertainment

Anthony Hopkins—in perhaps his most restrained role—and Emma Thompson captivate in this adaptation of the novel of the same name. The studied pace almost gives it the feel of a stage play, with long, silent looks transmitting volumes. Richard Robbins contributes a sumptuous score that I'll frequently play.
