Product: Brideshead Revisited [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 5.0
Fantastic story told brilliantly.
This is the most wonderful adaptation of an incredible book. When it came out it enthralled viewers world-wide and it has never lost it's sheen.This mini series has everything a mini series should, with bells on! The story of an ancient British aristocratic family and the middle class young man who falls helplessly in love with it. The aristocrat son Lord Sebastian Flyte, played by Anthony Andrews, is both reprehensible and tragic while the young man who falls under his spell is played by Jeremy Irons who is, in my opinion, in the greatest role of his life. Visually sweeping, hauntingly beautiful. Worth watching for so many reasons. If you buy only one British mini series this should be it.
