Product: Brideshead Revisited [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 5.0
Bridey-high, Bridey-ho
Simply one of the most moving and deeply-felt mini-series ever. Poignant, touching, beautifully shot, Brideshead Revisited tells the story of Pre-War England through the eyes of Charles (Jeremy Irons) and his group of mostly Cantabridgian friends, primarily, Sebastian, Julia and of course, Antoine! From the first frame, this series was meant to be heard in JI's voice (I heard a rumor once that JI was supposed to be Sebastian and Anthony Andrews, Charles!?!?!) and is mellifluously spoken and oooh! I loved it so much I can barely type. How Charles did not bawl like a baby upon discovering Brideshead again, is beyond me...The perfect activity for a cool, rainy afternoon (and evening!). END
