brideshead revisited (1 Viewer)

santa brought BR this year and it made nice christmas viewing. but for me it really dragged once sebastian makes off. apparently they are making a film of it that will concentrate more on the romance between charles and sebastians sister.

I love BR, am gonna read it again thanks to a conversation with ilovehoovering at the weekend!

:heart::heart: for brideshead. we just finished watching it a few weeks back. i sort of agree that it got a little less amusing once sebastian left, but i think cordelia, and mr samgrass, and bridey (and loads others) all keep it interesting. i read the book at the beginning of the summer (great!) and i didn't really find that problem with the book.

the film makes me a little wary, but andrew davies did the screenplay and emma thompson is lady marchmain so it can't be all that bad? maybe.

i read it for the first time there a few days ago. it was all a bit gloomy wasn't it? not even helped by me picturing them all as having james spader's head on them..

my tv highlight of the year after The Wire!

a quick search for film info brings up a blog entry saying Andrew Davies left Aloysius Bear out of his script but the producers put him back in. It also says Davies did the first few drafts but was then replaced.

seems to me that the film sounds like a hatchet job.
