A loyal British dramatization of Evelyn Waugh’s undying novel from 1945. BRIDESHEAD REVISITED is a touching story about forbidden love, lost innocence and the fall of the aristocrats in England at the time just before World War 2. The young Oxford student Charles Ryder becomes involved in the aristocratic family Marchmain during a 20 year period, and we especially follow his relationship with the two children Sebastian and Julia. In 1925, Charles befriends the flamboyant Sebastian Flyte, and is seduced by the luxurious lifestyle and Sebastian’s home, the sumptuous Brideshead where the Marchmain family is controlled with strict catholic rules, lead by matriarch Lady Marchmain. Sebastian falls in love with Charles, but Charles is in love with his beautiful sister Julia. As time passes, he becomes more and more involved with the Marchmain family, but Charles must realise that he is unable to break the strongest dysfunctional bond in the family; a deep and loyal relationship with the catholic church.
