Brideshead Revisited
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. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →#Saltburn appears to be a Gen Z remake of Brideshead Revisited, written by people who think Elon Musk is how geniuses and natural philosophy students at Oxbridge speak and behave. Also the slightly 70s clothing for a movie set in 2006 is hilarious

unlabelledView post →'Saltburn' is so good it eclipses all memories of the 2023 film 'Saltburn' (the Lidl Brideshead Revisited). And yes - a book to enjoy slowly, as a dipper.

unlabelledView post →Not a film proper, but the first thing I remember seeing on VHS in the UK in the 1980s was the OG Brideshead Revisited miniseries with Anthony Andrews and Jeremy Irons, which was freshly out on video when we saw it.
unlabelledView post →... on film and entirely on location and suddenly, prestige drama has to look cinematic. That's followed by Brideshead Revisited and there's no looking back. Can't help feeling that we lost something there.

unlabelledView post →It’s just such a fucking masterpiece. It hits all the “ah, fuck, the closet KILLED people” notes of Brideshead Revisited and also is so caustically hillarious; a 10/10 movie (My best friend in high school’s dad owned it on VHS but would rebt it from Blockbuster/Netflix to save the tape’s lifespan)

unlabelledView post →I haven’t seen Saltburn yet. All the reviews mention Brideshead Revisited, The Talented Mr Ripley and The Go-Between. It sounds like there could be a Get Out comparison too… and, at the other end of film, Something For Everyone.
unlabelledView post →Late to this but the Brideshead Revisited movie is as bad as the book. Very authentic adaptation.
unlabelledView post →I just looked that up–since I hadn't heard of that movie. I only saw Stéphane Audran once—in the TV 80's version of Brideshead Revisited. She made a big impact in a few short scenes. Her character's pithy commentaries on the people around her dominated that whole section of the story. great actress.

unlabelledView post →The movie is mid, but I have long been enamoured with Adrian Johnston's score for BRIDESHEAD REVISITED (2008). Just absolutely ravishing work - perfect for staring wistfully through rain-beaded windows or languishing in period novels filled with corsets, longing, and repressed desire.

unlabelledView post →Wasn't part of the mystique of the original film and the book that we knew nothing about the assassin? If I want some posho's psycho drama I can rewatch Brideshead Revisited.
unlabelledView post →My sense is that few people read Waugh anymore and those who do don’t go past Brideshead Revisited. I really think The Loved One is by far his most entertaining book (avoid the awful film adaptation thought) and The Sword of Honor Trilogy is an equal to Brideshead.

unlabelledView post →So if you saw and loved Saltburn, I hope you’ll be intrigued enough to watch the near-perfect Brideshead miniseries from 1981 - far more opulent, elegant and sinister than Saltburn ever could be.

unlabelledView post →Watching this Yank doing a YouTube review of Brideshead Revisited – my favourite book and film – after having watched Saltburn and she is missing so much. Culturally illiterate and missing the wood for the trees. Obviously different subtexts and themes jump out depending oh your perspective but
unlabelledView post →Watching Brideshead Revisited film - never seen it. Waugh nearly made genius status. But always short His books Sword of Honour trilogy close to perfection. Brideshead flawed, so flawed but so close to ripping your frame from reality. His latter work tedious, his earlier fantastic..

unlabelledView post →Watched Brideshead Revisited for the 3rd time. No show or film ever made finer use of voiceover: combination of Irons’s voice, Waugh’s prose, patience in using lines for VO that most adaptors would consider unnecessary is quite exquisite: takes you right inside Ryder’s soul.
unlabelledView post →It's not exactly a subtle film. It makes Brideshead Revisited look nuanced.
unlabelledView post →I’m watching Brideshead Revisited on the very hateful Pluto TV app, which has more commercials than movie, including a positively grim Jon Hamm gambling ad (why, Jon Hamm, why?) that was forced on me time and time again. Still though: Matthew Goode, so I endure.
