While the cinematic adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s classic novel, Brideshead Revisited definitely lives up to the critics' acclaim, it is not recommended for a movie viewer who finds things like bisexual relationships offensive. Yet if you can get past this, you are in for a marvelous cinematic experience.
The acting, directing, screen -play, and thought provoking subject matter will keep you thinking about this movie for some time. You may need patience as your Yankee ear tunes in to the whispering upper-class British accents, but the intense acting – especially by Patrick Malahide ( who plays an artistic Oxford student thrown into complicated upper class sexual intrigues) - makes it worth your effort. So if you like emotional acting, sociological messages, some fantastic directing by Julian Jarrold, and are not easily morally offended, Brideshead Revisited is a must see and a movie you won’t forget!
