Synopsis:
A provocative and suspenseful
drama,
Brideshead Revisited
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 Flyte (Ben
Whishaw,
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer),
and then his sophisticated sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell,
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.
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).
