Cohen Film Collection is proud to present a new restoration of James Ivory's QUARTET. A twisted relationship between a wealthy English couple and a young woman they take in, plays out against a stunning recreation of the Golden Age of 1920s Paris. In adapting Jean Rhys's 1928 autobiographical novel, Merchant Ivory achieved an artistic breakthrough that remains one of the team's finest works.

In this period drama loosely based on Jane Austen's most autobiographical novel, penniless heroine Fanny Price is sent to live with wealthy relatives in 1800s England, where her wit and writing talent find the room and circumstance to grow. Her friendship with cousin Edmund evolves into a deep love, but Fanny is pursued by an eager suitor, whose sister is after Edmund.

Anna navigates love and tragedy among the 19th century Russian aristocracy in this adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's powerful tale of family passions.
