Product: Brideshead Revisited [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 2.0
Brideshead digitally ruined
Brideshead Revisited: 30th Anniversary Edition. Not a happy anniversary! Subtitles and extras galore, but unfortunately this edition digitally altered the image and entire look of the series. Now everything is cleaned up and "whitewashed" and the patina of the original look and beauty is all gone, bleached out. The actors look like they are made of plastic, like Barbie dolls: not a wrinkle left! There's not much character left in these bland faces, and nobody ages over the many years of the story.What a bad job in an otherwise rich DVD set!Renate Stendhal, Ph.D.
