The Remains of the Day

7.4 / 10 7.4 1993 2h 14mPG

DramaRomance

A rule-bound head butler's world of manners and decorum in the household he maintains is tested by the arrival of a housekeeper who falls in love with him in post-WWI Britain. The possibility of romance and his master's cultivation of ties with the Nazi cause challenge his carefully maintained veneer of servitude.

Directed by James Ivory
