#brideshead revisited (2008)

[marlocandeea]

honestly the 'i asked for too much' line from sebastian isnt even in the book and i didnt think too much of it, but it stayed with me and it frames the relationship perfectly: he wanted someone to love him unconditionally like his mother never did and not even charles could in the end, so hell stay at the very fringe of life to get that really unconditional love which only god can give

Matthew is The Lion King Villian Scar?!? (The only highlight in an otherwise poor review of MEDIEVAL.)

This gold and black damask cloak trimmed in fur was first seen being worn by Emma Thompson as Lady Marchmain in the 2008 adaptation of Brideshead Revisited. It was worn again several years later on an extra in the court of Versailles in the 2022 film The King’s Daughter.

"Let's go back to London.

Let's settle everything with Rex.

And then we'll leave. Yes? Charles?

Yes. If that's what you want."

Twice has Charles been warned/asked to stay away from Brideshead, first by Sebastisn and now by Julia. He should have taken heed. 

I love this profile shot of Charles. It has a timeless beauty. Matthew was truly touched by the gods

Also, I had such a sense of deja vu about this goode smirk...

Oh yes, Professor Clairmont.

Hi! I’ve started reading Brideshead Revisited—mostly because you seem to really like it and recommend it a lot! I like to annotate books and take notes; are there any themes you particularly like about it and recommend looking out for?

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....!!!

THE FLAME IS LIT IN THE CHAPEL

My dear friend, the flame is lit in the chapel!

Themes I like. Themes I – like? Everything. Perhaps nothing. Perhaps both. (Do I seem to like it? It is my favourite book in the world. I am not sure if I can say that I like it, but boy! does it belong to me. I wonder if it likes me – as far as a book could like a person. If it does, then in a David Eliot sort of way [by the way, if you have trouble with the ending of this book or see it as a sad ending, I recommend to you the novel The Bird in the Tree], inflicting pain as a good surgeon does.

A few notes in the beginning: it's an incredibly beautiful novel. In every way. And not only the first part, as some would like to claim, reducing it to a "dark-light academia fluffy gay-ish romance with strawberrries" and suchlike. All three parts, and the Prologue and Epilogue, are beautiful, important, and (though in some ways different) interconnected. If you want to watch an adaptation, go for the 1981 series, which is brilliant. Avoid the 2008 film, which is horrid.

Themes that stick out to me in particular – that simply happen to (come to mind to) me:

The flame is lit in the chapel (and Brideshead still standing) (and all that in the Age of Hooper)

Every single thing Cordelia says. Pay good attention to everything Cordelia says, especially later on!

The inexorable call of the Church, the inevietable pursuit of and by and through God

Love and all that is Good of it (and all the pain it can bring)

Choosing the Right thing against all odds, against all desires, against all expectations

Finding, having, and in some ways losing (yet somehow never truly losing) a home, as an outsider who is perhaps even more at home than everyone else, and coming back, physically, and spiritually, even when it is lost, when times have changed, when that place – and that sort of place – does not exist anymore, because its essence will never leave you (Sic transit gloria mundi)

Being a Catholic in the Diaspora – Being an imperfect Catholic in the Diaspora! (oh how much more perfect and pious and pure Catholics are expected to be in non-Catholic environments!) – Belonging to a deeply paradoxial culture, and truly belonging to the paradox more than to any plain and simple conventionality

More universal than that: being different at the same time as being not different at all, being different in the sense that the same life is experienced with a different sort of light; belonging (and not) and then elsewhere (and not that either)

~beautiful ideas~

The ultimate Paradox that Charles found what will truly be his way through those who appear more wayward than anyone else (and perhaps just because of that!)

SEBASTIAN [contra mundum]

Vocations, what Cordelia says about Vocations!

Friendship, loyalty, and when it's just that that goes wrong

SEBASTIAN

(Do not underestimate Julia. And do not judge Lady Marchmain too quickly)

The war, "the Age of Hooper", and the Time That Was

"homeless, childless, middle-aged, loveless"

EVERYTHING

I teared up writing this, but I also know that this list is incomplete and unbalanced, because I am not currently concentrating properly on the matter. I will come back to this if something else occurs to me, if you don't mind. In any case, it is a sublime book – and there is so much to it! I sincerely recommend to pay good attention, to all sorts of little bits! And to be open, to each and every one character, and part and chapter.

Oh, and let's not forget Aloysius! Not a theme but a Very Important Character.

And I would still also like to say that, though the setting of this book might appear distant and antiquated to a reader (I have read enough reviews to know that this is a common opinion) that everything this book is about is still (and, in a way again, these last few years) very, very relevant. (I do not think that contemporary relevance is a necessecity for an old book, but nevertheless it does simply happen to be so with this one.)

Oh, I do so love this book. (And I am so incredibly glad that my posts about it made you all the more interested!)

265 - Brideshead Revisited

We all know that Oscar fawns over costume dramas of literary adaptations -- or so we tell ourselves when forming predictions and one with a whiff of prestige arrives. In 2008, director Julian Jerrold delivered a new adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited with an up-and-coming young cast paired with Dame Emma Thompson as the devoutly religious Lady Marchmain. With Matthew Goode as the social climber Charles Ryder and Ben Whishaw and Hayley Atwell as the siblings he romances, the queer-inflected drama earned modest reviews and box office, with Thompson an outsider Supporting Actress contender through the season.

This episode, Thompson joins our six timers club and we discuss our love for the then-emerging Whishaw. We also look back at Goode's career including the misbegotten Watchmen film, Atwell's career outside of Marvel, and the surprising amount of time that has passed since Thompson's last nomination.

Topics also include Brideshead riff Saltburn, pneumonia terminology, and 2008 queer cinema.

[badbookerysadbookery]

the 2008 Brideshead Revisited movie completely butchered Lady Marchmain. She is not an evil villain who wants to control everyone around her and be evil! She's like my son is gay and sinning and my daughter's a slut and also sinning 😥 literally WHY is this happening to the most pious woman in all of England 😔😞

From Baz Bamigboye, Deadline Sept 5, 2022

Luca Guadagnino Says He Needs A Miracle To Revive ‘Brideshead Revisited’ Dream Project With All-Star Cast Including Cate Blanchett And Ralph Fiennes

Baz Bamigboye EXCLUSIVE: Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name) hopes to revive his dream project to make a mammoth 10-episode television adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited.

Two years ago the director had assembled an all-star cast including Cate Blanchett, Ralph Fiennes, Andrew Garfield and Rooney Mara, to lead a 10-part prestige TV version of Waugh’s brilliant study of British upper-class decadence.

But the HBO and BBC production was shelved because of its cost. “It’s a very sad story,” Guadagnino told Deadline late on Sunday night, following a screening at the Telluride Film Festival of his latest film Bones and All, a shocking love story, starring Timothee Chalamet, Taylor Russell and Mark Rylance, about cannibals searching, longingly, for their next meal.

Guadagnino said that he and Benjamin Walters, a young British writer, spent 18 months writing the scripts for Brideshead Revisited. “I had a great cast and I needed the money and the money I needed was $110 million, $11 million dollars an episode, and there was no way we could put it together.”

He continued, “I said to myself: ‘I cannot compromise. It has to be done the way I want it to be done’. “

Guadagnino had gathered Garfield (tick, tick…BOOM!) to play anguished artist Charles Ryder, with the intention of splitting the part. “I wanted Garfield as the older Charles Ryder,“ he said.

He added that a younger actor would play Ryder at Oxford with Sebastian Flyte, the teddy-bear-loving son of an aristocratic Catholic family who reside at the stately home called Brideshead.

Harry Lawtey (Industry), “a wonderful young actor from the UK,” Guadagnino told us, had been in place to play Sebastian, and Rooney Mara (Women Talking) had been cast as Lady Julia, his highly strung sister.

Cate Blanchett (Tár) and Ralph Fiennes ( No Time to Die) were to have played their parents, the incredibly grand Lord and Lady Marchmain. “I had so many others, a huge and beautiful cast. It’s maybe possible to assemble this cast again. I know these people love me,” Guadagnino said confidently.

“I want to say to HBO and the BBC: ‘Guys, let’s do it, we still have the scripts and the rights.’”

Guadagnino noted that the screenplays were “granular” and had expanded the subtext to incorporate Waugh’s own biography as well. “So, we tried to bring what we know about Waugh’s young times at Oxford into the story of Sebastian and Charles Ryder, and, of course Lord and Lady Marchmain and Julia.

”It was going to be an allegory of the fall of the West, and the fall of the ruling class, and the fall of all that. The Catholic Church was a huge deal, too,” Guadagnino said as he outlined how he envisioned the project stretching from the 1920s through to 1945.

”It’s a very dear project. I love this novel. I wrote with Benjamin Walters, the script, so it’s something so close to me. If the miracle would happen I would jump and do it. It’s the question of a miracle right now, probably.

“I truly believe in miracles,’ ” he said.

Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited was first brought to the screen in 1981, with the landmark ITV production starring Jeremy Irons as Ryder, Anthony Andrews as Sebastian and Diana Quick as Julia. Laurence Olivier and Claire Bloom played Lord and Lady Marchmain.

In 2008, Julian Jarrold (Kinky Boots and The Crown)directed a feature film version starring Matthew Goode, Ben Whishaw and Hayley Atwell, with Emma Thompson and Michael Gambon.

Thank you for doing such a great job 👏 and yes, I am a tad jealous.

I love how chatty Matthew is and also so gentleman like lowering himself from his towering 6ft2 so that the hair artist can reach more easily.
