James Ivory

Two David di Donatello awards stand thirty-two years apart and each in a different line of work: the foreign director category in 1987 for A Room with a View, and the adapted screenplay category in 2019 for Call Me by Your Name, the archive marking the recipient as a person on both. He was a nominee in the producer category at that same 2019 ceremony. The Spirit list, by contrast, names James Ivory by his role inside two film-award nominations, as the director of Howards End in 1993 and as one of the six producers of Call Me by Your Name in 2018. Of the ten works held here he directed nine; Call Me by Your Name is not among those nine, because what he wrote there was the screenplay and our catalogue keeps no screenplay credits.
