Product: Brideshead Revisited [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 4.0
Acceptable DVD of a Good Adaptation of a Great Novel.
It's the best, and it's the worst.The picture is fine, the sound is uneven and muddy in parts, and the music that plays when the menu is displayed is maddeningly repetitive.But it's a great story with truly quirky performances. Jeremy Irons' performance is way too one-dimensional, though.Recommended only for those who have read the book and want to enrich the experience with the made-for-TV version, those who want to wallow in the visual splendor of an English castle, and/or those with the patience to sit through eleven hours listening to whiny rich Brits.
