I watched 1986’s “A Room With a View”—Merchant Ivory’s first chapter of a brilliant run of high-quality period-piece films—five or six times in the movie theater. It was unique and stood head and shoulders above the rest of its contemporary fare, except for maybe “Back to the Future” and 1986’s “Platoon.” This film review is about an artistically told tale of a Victorian-era “Little-Miss-Can’t-Be-Wrong” learning to follow her heart and live her bliss.
