Synopsis

If Maurice made you drool, then welcome to Brideshead Castle ! Based on Evelyn Waugh's classic British novel, Brideshead Revisited is a poignant genre-busting story of forbidden love and the loss of innocence set in Oxford, Venice and Morocco prior to the Second World War. In this provocative and suspenseful film version, Matthew Goode (Match Point) becomes entranced with the noble Marchmain family, first through the charming and cute Ben Whishaw (Perfume : The Story of a Murderer), and then his sophisticated sister, Hayley Atwell (Cassandra's Dream). Academy Award-winner Emma Thompson is the cherry on the cake with her superb performance of the scary, manipulative Catholic extremist Lady Marchmain.
