The Europeans (Os Europeus), de James Ivory (1979)

Filme baseado em romance do escritor  norte americano Henry James, de 1878.

Estamos nos meados do século 19. Os irmãos Felix Young e Eugenia Munster  nasceram e foram educados na Europa e tem um certo estilo de vida boêmio, por causa de suas viagens pela Europa. Felix, que tem pouco dinheiro, tem interesse na pintura e nas artes. Eugenia é uma baronesa por casamento. Eles decidem viajar para a Nova Inglaterra, nos EUA, para encontrar o tio e os três primos, os Wentworths, pela primeira vez, os Wentworths que vivem perto de Boston. Os Wentworths são muito puritanos, o tio, em particular que serve de seu vizinho, Sr. Brand, para fornecer uma conduta moral aos seus três filhos, especialmente a tímida Gertrude,  com quem o Sr. Brand quer se casar. Os Wentworths ficam um tanto desconfiados quanto a razão da visita dos parentes, mas o tio os coloca em um casa vizinha na propriedade dele. Enquanto Felix desfruta da companhia de seus primos - especialmente Gertrude - Eugenia fica mais à distância e consciente da verdadeira razão da viagem deles para os EUA. Para Eugenia, um outro primo, um tal de Robert Acton, pode ser a escolha certa para seu objetivo, que  diz respeito ao seu casamento atual e uma segurança financeira.

Elenco: Lee Remick (Eugenia), Robin Ellis (Robert Acton), Wesley Addy (Mr. Wentworth), Lisa Eischhorn (Gertrude), Kristin Griffith (Lizzie Acton), Norman Snow (Mr. Brand), Tim Woodward (Felix Young).

It's the mid-nineteenth century. Adult siblings Felix Young and Eugenia Munster were born and raised in Europe and have a somewhat bohemian lifestyle reflective of their travels throughout Europe. Felix, who has little money, is interested in painting and the arts. Eugenia is a baroness by marriage. They decide to travel to New England to meet their maternal uncle and their three cousins, the Wentworths, for the first time, the Wentworths who live just outside of Boston. The Wentworths are highly puritanical, the uncle in particular who looks to a neighbor, Mr. Brand, to provide a moral compass to his three children, especially the shy Gertrude, who Mr. Brand wants to marry. The Wentworths are somewhat suspicious as to the reason for their relatives' visit, but nonetheless the uncle puts them up in a neighboring house on their property. While Felix enjoys the company of his cousins - especially Gertrude - Eugenia is a bit more standoffish and cognizant of the real reason for their trip to the United States. For Eugenia, another of their uncle's cousins, a Mr. Robert Acton, may just fit the bill related to her goal, which concerns her current marriage and financial security.

Movie based on novel by the American writer Henry James, in 1878.

Cast: Lee Remick (Eugenia), Robin Ellis (Robert Acton), Wesley Addy (Mr. Wentworth), Lisa Eischhorn (Gertrude), Kristin Griffith (Lizzie Acton), Norman Snow (Mr. Brand), Tim Woodward (Felix Young). Directed by James Ivory.
