Brideshead Revisited

Until Thursday 16th October 2008 | book tickets

2hrs 13, UK 2008. Directed by Julian Jarrold.  With Matthew Goode, Emma Thompson, Michael Gambon and Ben Whishaw.

A provocative and suspenseful drama, "Brideshead Revisited" tells an evocative story of forbidden love and the loss of innocence 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, “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer”), and then his sophisticated sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell, “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 (“Bleak House”) and Jeremy Brock (“The Last King of Scotland”).

This film has audio description available. Please ask at the box office for details.
