The Remains of the Day

The Remains of the Day (James Ivory, 1993) deals with two different points. The first, the love story between Miss Kenton (Emma Thompson) and Mr Stevens (Anthony Hopkins). The second, a part of the II World War history.

The detailed interior decoration, the customes, every single picture.. Everything is described in great detail.

Mise-en-scène gives us also some details about the character's feelings. The fresh flowers Miss Kenton tryes to place in Mr Stevens's office are a sign of what she is really trying to do. She wants to enter in Mr Stevens's grey life. But, at first, he does not allow it.

In some scenes it is clear that there is a great distance between them, they do not know how to come close.

To finish, you can not miss the famous scene.
