Brideshead Revisited
An evocative story of forbidden love and innocence lost set in England before the Second World War. Charles Ryder (Matthew Good of Match Point and The Lookout) becomes entranced with the noble Marchmain family, first through the charming and provocative Sebastian (Ben Whishaw of Perfume and I'm Not There), and then his sophisticated sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell of Cassandra’s Dream and the upcoming The Duchess). The rise and fall of Charles’ infatuations reflect the decline of a decadent era in England between the wars. Oscar winner Emma Thompson co-stars as Lady Marchmain.
The film, based on Evelyn Waugh’s acclaimed novel is adapted for the screen by multiple BAFTA Award-winner Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones Diary, Bleak House) and Jeremy Brock (The Last King of Scotland) and directed by Julian Jarrold (Becoming Jane).
