BRIDESHEAD REVISITED

FILMS. The story is beautiful, the setting is beautiful. Though the 1945 book by Evelyn Waugh is somehow drier than the magnificent, emotional 1981 BBC Series, one of my favorites of all times.
The latest movie (2008) is good too. Britain ruled in deed, a hundred years ago!


La historia es bonita, los escenarios preciosos, aunque el libro de Evelyn Waugh es, de alguna manera, más seco que la magnífica, emotiva serie de la BBC de 1981, una de mis favoritas de todos los tiempos.
La última película (2008) es buena también. ¡Inglaterra dominaba el mundo de verdad, hace cien años!

    Hello:
    Evelyn Waugh is one of our all-time favourite novelists. We love the book and absolutely adored both Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews in the BBC production. The 2008 film did not work as well for us. However, it all represents an England that, in all its eccentricities, still exists but is becoming an endangered species.

    As I was cleaning out one of my girls' rooms ( now have homes of their own) I found a copy of BR and re-read it... A classic.

    The BBC series was the best! I agree.
