M. and I have seen the new Brideshead Rivisited today. We both wanted to see it due to the great preview on TV and Emma Thompson. It also reminded me a bit of two of my favorite movies-Atonement and English Patient.
It was a good movie, maybe even very good, but not perfect. The acting was, however. Perfect, that is. I wish Thompson was more in it, though. But as M. rightly pointed out, this movie is based on a book.
It just seemed a bit too fast. Everything was going on fast, with trailing on some important aspects of relationships in the story. The viewers are left with not really knowing what happened to some characters and why. And also, with questions at the end of the movie, and not just the existential ones.
Anyway, you should see it. The acting is brilliant, or lack there of. The story is interesting. There's no boring moment. And it's not too long. If anything, it feels unfinished, hurried.
Oh, yes, and with some stunning shots of England.
