Privilege. Ambition. Desire. At Brideshead Everything Comes At A Price.
A heartbreaking romantic epic, this adaptation of EvelynWaugh’s classic novel tells an evocative story of forbidden love and the loss of innocence.
Oxford 1925. The unworldly undergraduate Charles Ryder (Matthew Goode) is befriended by the flamboyant and aristocratic Sebastian Flyte (BenWhishaw), son of Lord and LadyMarchmain (Michael Gambon and Academy Award-Winner Emma Thompson), and is thrilled by an invitation to
Brideshead, theMarchmain’s magnificent ancestral home.
Beguiled by his surroundings, Charles is entranced by the opulent house and the
glamourous world of this eccentric family.While LordMarchmain lives in Venice
with his mistress, LadyMarchmain runs the house, the failure of her marriage
redoubling the fierce Catholic faith imposed on her children – Sebastian and
the beautiful Julia (Hayley Atwell).
As Charles’s infatuation moves from the provocative Sebastian to the sophisticated Julia, it is a faith with which he finds himself increasingly at odds.
