Brideshead Revisited
Privilege. Ambition. Desire. At Brideshead everything comes at a price.
Directed by Julian Jarrold
Produced by BBC Film, Ecosse Films
A richly textured period drama about seduction by privilege and the collision between romantic desire and religious faith, told with elegiac melancholy and visual splendor.
Befriended by aristocrat Sebastian Flyte, Oxford student Charles Ryder finds that the power and privilege experienced by the family is seductive. On a visit to the ancestral home, Brideshead, he falls in love with his friend's sister, Julia. However, as his ties to the Flytes deepen, Ryder finds himself at odds with their strong Roman Catholicism.
