There are so many bridges in the back of shots each of which is always packed with tourists. Yes No. Rex points out that Julia’s second marriage would never be recognized by the Catholic Church but despite this, she and Charles are poised to leave for Europe, happy together at last. Neither of them is in a happy marriage and both recognize that they remain one another’s true love. That gives this epic its originality.” Jeremy adds, “It’s how you then spin the rest of the narrative around that love story that becomes the challenge.”, Jeremy felt the love story has much resonance today. My suits were great because all of that really isn’t me at all.” On dressing him, Eimer notes, “Ben is very relaxed, which worked well for Sebastian because you want him to have a total ease with what he’s wearing. He blamed director Jarrold and screenwriters Davies and Brock "for finding so little new or interesting to say... and for systematically stripping Waugh's novel of its telling nuances and provocative ideas." Kevin Loader comments, “They were happy about that and did see an early draft. He and Brock have done a competent job of culling just the right plot elements from Waugh's book and assembling them into a serviceable story. His seduction is complete when Charles visits ‘Brideshead,’ the Marchmain’s magnificent ancestral home, where he is introduced to a new family and a world entirely unlike his own middle-class upbringing in London. “I was astonished to discover that it was available and we jumped at it.”, Waugh himself had granted MGM an option to develop a screenplay in the 1950s, but he hadn’t liked the script. He says, “I was really thrilled to be involved in it. Sebastian is consumed by guilt over his homosexuality; Julia by guilt over her infidelity.

For the film, it is much more interesting dramatically to have the two coinciding.”, Writer Jeremy Brock also brought one major additional deviation from the book to the screenplay. When he becomes more aware of the forces at work, Charles is forced to choose — does he let her go, or succumb to a religious vision of the world he has hitherto resisted. Box Office Totals Venice is so beautiful and atmospheric.” Loader echoes this: “Venice has problems and delights. During the course of this idyll, Charles becomes infatuated with Sebastian’s beautiful younger sister, Julia. The essence of it, for me, is the very singular love story between Charles, the outsider, and two incredibly vivid young people -beautiful, tortured, wonderful people, Julia and Sebastian that he falls in love with. ↑ "BPG TV & Radio Awards: 1982". Julian Jarrold was familiar with Ben Whishaw’s work and was delighted to bring him on board in the role of Sebastian. In the film, Charles leaves the family chapel at Brideshead seemingly unchanged in his atheist/agnostic leanings, although he decides not to snuff out the candle that is burning. The novel ends with Charles entering the chapel and kneeling down to pray using "ancient and newly learned words", thus implying he has recently converted to Catholicism. Evelyn Waugh had been an undergraduate at Oxford University at Hertford College and drew on some of his own experiences for Charles Ryder’s initiation into student life and fascination with the aristocratic Lord Sebastian Flyte. The largest scene shot in Venice was the carnival scene, filmed overnight in Campo Castelforte.

Anyone expecting an equivalent to Jeremy Irons' evocative reading of Waugh's prose will be disappointed... On the credit side, this Brideshead boasts a handful of very strong performances...
