| | Thanks for posting this, Hong Zhang. Maurice is one of my all-time favourites, too - in fact, I once wrote a long essay on the film adaptation when I was at university in the late 1980s.
It's interesting to see how good Hugh Grant is here - long before he found fame as the archetypal British twit. He has a difficult role, as he has to change convincingly from an endearing character to a complete social metaphysician by the end. His character's downfall is that he fails to be true to himself, and Grant conveys this brilliantly.
