Brideshead Revisited
Directed by Julian Jarrold
Befriended by aristocrat Sebastian Flyte, Oxford student Charles Ryder finds that the power and privilege experienced by the family is seductive.

Michael Gambon, the Irish-English actor best known for his role as Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore in six of the “Harry Potter” movies, has died, Variety has confirmed. He was 82. “We are devastated to announce the loss of Sir Michael Gambon,” his family said in a statement. “Beloved husband and father, Michael died peacefully in hospital with his wife Anne and son Fergus at his bedside, following a bout of pneumonia.”…

neutral · AI labelView post →#Saltburn appears to be a Gen Z remake of Brideshead Revisited, written by people who think Elon Musk is how geniuses and natural philosophy students at Oxbridge speak and behave. Also the slightly 70s clothing for a movie set in 2006 is hilarious

neutral · AI labelView post →... on film and entirely on location and suddenly, prestige drama has to look cinematic. That's followed by Brideshead Revisited and there's no looking back. Can't help feeling that we lost something there.

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s just such a fucking masterpiece. It hits all the “ah, fuck, the closet KILLED people” notes of Brideshead Revisited and also is so caustically hillarious; a 10/10 movie (My best friend in high school’s dad owned it on VHS but would rebt it from Blockbuster/Netflix to save the tape’s lifespan)

neutral · AI labelView post →I haven’t seen Saltburn yet. All the reviews mention Brideshead Revisited, The Talented Mr Ripley and The Go-Between. It sounds like there could be a Get Out comparison too… and, at the other end of film, Something For Everyone.
neutral · AI labelView post →Late to this but the Brideshead Revisited movie is as bad as the book. Very authentic adaptation.
negative · AI labelView post →I just looked that up–since I hadn't heard of that movie. I only saw Stéphane Audran once—in the TV 80's version of Brideshead Revisited. She made a big impact in a few short scenes. Her character's pithy commentaries on the people around her dominated that whole section of the story. great actress.
neutral · AI labelView post →Brideshead Revisited (the TV adaptation, not the novel or the film).
neutral · AI labelView post →Damn. I really hate Cheetolini, but this? This is just so fucking classy I gotta tip my hat. Bravo. Like fucking Brideshead Revisited in a MAGA hat or a Merchant Ivory film come to life. Edith Wharton would shit herself trying to invent a character this classy.

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie is mid, but I have long been enamoured with Adrian Johnston's score for BRIDESHEAD REVISITED (2008). Just absolutely ravishing work - perfect for staring wistfully through rain-beaded windows or languishing in period novels filled with corsets, longing, and repressed desire.

neutral · AI labelView post →My sense is that few people read Waugh anymore and those who do don’t go past Brideshead Revisited. I really think The Loved One is by far his most entertaining book (avoid the awful film adaptation thought) and The Sword of Honor Trilogy is an equal to Brideshead.

neutral · AI labelView post →So if you saw and loved Saltburn, I hope you’ll be intrigued enough to watch the near-perfect Brideshead miniseries from 1981 - far more opulent, elegant and sinister than Saltburn ever could be. And if you haven’t watched Saltburn? Indulge in this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brideshead_Revisited_(TV_series) #Saltburn #BridesheadRevisited

Culturally illiterate and missing the wood for the trees. Obviously different subtexts and themes jump out depending oh your perspective but
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Brideshead Revisited film - never seen it. Waugh nearly made genius status. But always short His books Sword of Honour trilogy close to perfection. Brideshead flawed, so flawed but so close to ripping your frame from reality. His latter work tedious, his earlier fantastic..

positive · AI labelView post →Watched Brideshead Revisited for the 3rd time. No show or film ever made finer use of voiceover: combination of Irons’s voice, Waugh’s prose, patience in using lines for VO that most adaptors would consider unnecessary is quite exquisite: takes you right inside Ryder’s soul.
positive · AI labelView post →It's not exactly a subtle film. It makes Brideshead Revisited look nuanced.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m watching Brideshead Revisited on the very hateful Pluto TV app, which has more commercials than movie, including a positively grim Jon Hamm gambling ad (why, Jon Hamm, why?) that was forced on me time and time again. Still though: Matthew Goode, so I endure.
neutral · AI labelView post →OBEY GOD Part 2: On Thursday while scrolling thru YouTube, I came across a video with “OBEY GOD NOT MEN”. It reminded me of a line from Brideshead Revisited seen recently in which Emma Thompson says, “GOD commands & we obey”. Another line from that movie is “Stay away from sodomites”. And I am!

Se7en (1997) - Freeman makes the movie, but still iconic for the vox The Passionate Friends (1949) - Lean's less known affair movie, a minor masterpiece Mad Max 2 (1981) - first time watching wide-screen, looks incredibly modern still Brideshead Revisited (2008) - okay, but feels cold
