Movie preview: Brideshead Revisited

For those who are unfamiliar, Brideshead Revisited an English novel written by Evelyn Waugh in 1945. And for those who don’t want a tiring synopsis of its film adaptation, think no further than the archetypical story of a young, beautiful but poor person who is welcomed to the fabulously decadent and seductive world of other young, beautiful people (who just happen to be filthy-fucking rich.)

I want to see how much interest I can spark by being as esoteric as possible, so I’ll offer no more than this list:

--British accents
--love triangle
--homoerotic subtext
--Castle Howard
--1920s, 30s and 40s
--costumes from those decades

and a link to the rousing trailer.

Release date: July 25 (limited)
