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) becomes entranced with the noble Marchmain family, first through the charming and provocative Sebastian Flyte (Ben Whishaw), and then his sophisticated sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell). The rise and fall of Charles' infatuations reflect the decline of a decadent era in England between the wars.
This isn't one of those foofy period pieces with the silly hair and costumes. Instead its one of those overly pompous European movies showing the higher classes and what not. You know, the type that is essentially the period piece movie without all the budgeted money for the foofs. I like the word foof I think. Anywho, this movie is somewhat watchable. You pretty much know whats going to happen from the start but its tolerable if you have the time.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone rushing to rent this. You can go ahead and wait or cable on this one.
