About this product

Product Information

Though director Julian Jarrold's adaptation of the Evelyn Waugh novel BRIDESHEAD REVISITED spans decades and continents, it's a taut film that never drags and can excite contemporary audiences. Matthew Goode (MATCH POINT) stars as lower-class Londoner Charles Ryder, an aspiring artist who is beginning his studies in history at Oxford in the 1920s. A chance encounter with dandyish aristocrat Sebastian Flyte (Ben Whishaw, PERFUME) changes the course of his life. The two embark on a close, intense friendship that is further complicated by the introduction of Sebastian's beautiful sister Julia (Hayley Atwell, CASSANDRA'S DREAM) and his overbearing, extremely religious mother, Lady Marchmain (Emma Thompson). BRIDESHEAD REVISITED follows Charles from the carefree '20s through the beginning of World War II, focusing on his complicated relationship with the upper-class family and their estate, Brideshead. Along with ATONEMENT's Joe Wright, Jarrold (BECOMING JANE) represents a new era of British period filmmaking. Both men bring a modern sensibility to their work that makes their films feel fresh and sexy, though they never lose authenticity. Jarrold employs some handheld camera work and quick-cut editing in BRIDESHEAD REVISITED, two techniques that separate his film from others in the genre. Fans of the book--and the 11-hour 1981 miniseries--may bristle at the film's relatively brief running time, but screenwriters Andrew Davies (the BBC classic PRIDE AND PREJUDICE) and Jeremy Brock (THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND) have distilled the story into the essentials. BRIDESHEAD REVISITED deftly works with the conflicts of class, religion, and desire and, with its artful costumes and gorgeous settings, is essential viewing for fans of the genre.

  • Tries valiantly to outdo the TV series, but can't!

    The film is good, but nowhere near as compelling or brilliant as the TV series. Nevertheless, any iteration of this story is worth viewing - it's a great, heartbreaking story.

  • Loved the short series, the DVD case was not in good shape.

    The DVD itself is in good shape, played well, no glitches, the case is not so good, , the teeth that hold the DVD in place are broken so the DVD is loose in the case, overall I'm satisfied w/ the purchase.

  • Excellent

    This is a subtle and beautifully rendered interpretation of the novel. Everyone is perfectly cast, the cinematography is exquisite, the acting low key and engaging. It was a pleasure to watch and left me with many questions regarding the characters, their beliefs and motivations what would have happened if different decisions were made...you definitely want to see how the story continues but that can only be conjecture in you own mind. A literate movie for adults with complex characters and situations. I highly recommend.
