Edwardian London

His collaborations with Ismail Merchant meticulously recreate Edwardian England's social hierarchies and intimate domestic spaces, particularly in films like 'The Remains of the Day' and 'A Room with a View.'

He captures the visual opulence and emotional constraints of Edwardian society through his adaptations of period literature, most notably in 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Atonement.'

His film 'The Prestige' is set in Edwardian London and explores the era's technological innovation, obsession with illusion, and class tensions through a compelling narrative.
