A heartbreaking romantic epic, “BRIDESHEAD
REVISTED” tells an evocative story of forbidden love and the
loss of innocence set in the pre-WWII era. In the film,
Charles
Ryder (Matthew Goode, “Match Point,” “The Lookout”) becomes
entranced with the noble Marchmain family, first through the
charming and provocative Sebastian Marchmain (Ben Whishaw,
“Perfume: The Story of a Murderer”), and then his
sophisticated sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell, the upcoming
“Cassandra’s Dream”). The rise and fall of Charles’
infatuations reflect the decline of a decadent era in
England between the wars. Academy Award-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”).
