Stephen Soucy’s new documentary MERCHANT IVORY is one of those rare films that actually surpasses all the hype and the anticipation that preceded it. This affectionate profile on the legendary queer film pioneers makes for such joyous viewing. Especially if you are of a certain age (!) and grew up on the splendor of such films as Room With a View. Even more so if you are a gay history buff, as you will want to pay respect to this fearless couple and their impact on gay cinema.

From their ground breaking film of EM Foster’s legendary queer novel MAURICE to their triple Academy Award winning Howard’s End, their partnership, on and off the screen, lasted some 44 years . On the eve of the film’s Provincetown Film Fest Screening, Soucy talks to QUEERGURU about their work and their legacy in the annals of queer cinema
