Brideshead Revisited

A provocative and suspenseful drama, BRIDESHEAD REVISITED tells a story of forbidden love and the loss of innocence set in the pre-WWII era. Charles Ryder becomes entranced with the noble Marchmain family, first through the charming Sebastian Flyte, and then through his sophisticated sister, Julia. The rise and fall of Charles’s infatuations reflect the decline of the decadent era of the interwar years. A sensitive adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s novel by multiple BAFTA award-winner Andrew Davies and Jeremy Brock, the film also features a terrific supporting turn from Emma Thompson as the duplicitous Lady Marchmain.
