For anyone who hasn't seen the movie based on the novel, I would highly recommending watching it[0]. Superb, nuanced performances by Sir Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. The movie would also serve as an introduction to the Merchant-Ivory oeuvre[1].

Yesterday, after I heard this news, I searched for this movie as an entry point to his works, with the hope of later reading a book by him.

Unfortunately could not find the movie anywhere (YouTube has some bad versions). If anyone has any pointers, to where we can find it online, would be good.

For free? Amazon and iTunes both have it available for rent / purchase.

Well-worth the money. It’s stunningly produced, faithful to the novel, and both Hopkins and Thompson are outstanding.

No not for free, of course. But streaming which I can purchase. Don't have iTunes, but have 3 services (Netflix, Amazon Prime and HotStar) in India. None of them seem to have it.

Ideally, I want to be able to just buy a movie from somewhere, without needing to subscribe to the entire service.
