The Cohen Media Group has released a promotional trailer for the brand new 4K restoration of James Ivory's The Bostonians (1984), starring Christopher Reeve, Vanessa Redgrave, Jessica Tandy, Madeleine Potter, and Linda Hunt.
A Blu-ray release of the new restoration is expected to be announced later this year.
Synopsis: Boston, 1876: At a Women's Movement meeting, fiercely independent Olive (Vanessa Redgrave) becomes mentor to gifted young orator Verena (Madeleine Potter) - who soon attracts the amorous attentions of Olive's Southern cousin Basil (Christopher Reeve). The contesting demands of courtship and sapphic friendship in this love-triangle in all but name are further complicated by New York society matron Mrs. Burrage (Nancy Marchand), who tries to secure Verena for her son. Merchant Ivory explores the subtle power struggles between sex, class and the Women's Movement at the heart of Henry James' classic novel with delicate precision and a marvelous sense of social milieu.
