【内容介绍】:

Brilliantly adapted by John Mortimer from Evelyn Waugh's celebrated novel of England between the first and second World Wars, BRIDESHEAD REVISITED may be the best miniseries ever made. Smoothly and subtly directed by Charles Sturridge and Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the twelve hour program is beautiful to look at, the cast is remarkable, and the story has amazing impact.

The miniseries follows the novel closely, beginning near the end of World War II as Charles Ryder (Jeremy Irons) grows disdainful of military life, which he finds a study in futility--and then flashes back twenty years as Ryder recalls his relationship with the aristocratic Marchmain family, a relationship that begins when he becomes friendly with Marchmain son Sebastian Flyte (Anthony Andrews) while the two are students at Oxford.

The miniseries captures perfectly a golden moment of youth--and then the gradual disillusionment brought by the passage of time. Like all great works, BRIDESHEAD REVISITED--both book and film--touches on a great many themes, most specifically an innocent type of homoeroticism, loss of innocence, alcoholism, adultery, and changing society; ultimately, however, the story is about spiritual values and how they survive in even the most unlikely of circumstances--and how God works through individuals in the most unexpected ways.

The performances here are truly fine beyond descr...

The performances here are truly fine beyond description. Jeremy Irons has seldom surpassed his work here, and neither Anthony Andrews nor Dianna Quick (as Julia, Sebastian's sister) have ever bested their performances in this film. In addition to the three leads, the miniseries offers an incredible array of superior performances by John Gielgud, Claire Bloom, and Laurence Olivier; the cinematography and art design is flawless; and the score by Geoffrey Burgon is exquisite. Mortimer's script is remarkable in that it not only manages to recreate the novel, it also manages to capture the intangible, spiritual elements upon which the book plays but seldom directly references. A must-own work for any one who appreciates the best of the best; strongly, strongly recommended.

11集英国电视连续剧《故园风雨后》（Brideshead Revisited）改编自Evelyn Waugh的同名小说，由Granada电视公司出品，1981年10月在英国ITV首播。故事开始于二战前夕的英国。描写了伦敦近郊布赖兹赫德庄园一个天主教家庭的生活和命运。老马奇梅因侯爵一战后抛下家人长期和情妇在威尼斯居住；父母的生活丑闻给子女打下了耻辱的印记，扭曲了他们的天性。本书的叙述人赖德也是故事的参与者，目睹了这个不幸家庭的沉沦与衰败。宗教也救不了他们。作者以一种苍凉的心情对布赖兹赫德昔日的富丽繁华进行了凭吊，也反映了二战后英国知识分子的思想，反映了他们的回忆、哀伤与失望。

这部电视迷你剧集耗费巨资，演员阵容强大，John Gielgud（扮Charles的父亲）和Laurence Olivier都是授封爵士的著名演员，Anthony Andrews是英国当红小生，Jeremy Irons则凭借该剧崭露头角。《故园风雨后》明显透出英国人对一战前如日中天的大英帝国的怀恋，牛津校园和华丽的Brideshead庄园是显赫一时的大英帝国的荣耀和象征。Granada公司在场景打造上不惜血本，总共12小时的电视剧号称花了450万英镑，实际估计则达1100万英镑。例如在 Queen ElizabethII邮轮上拍摄8分钟的费用就高达50万。其他如“Brideshead”庄园（实际上为BBC主席George Howard的宅邸Castle Howard）、Venice、Malta、Gozo岛，无不体现制作上的铺张。与场面上的奢华形成鲜明对照的是Sebastian和他的那些浪荡朋友的腐败颓废的生活方式。Sebastian的玩偶小熊Aloysius也由于该剧的出名而在80年代新兴白领阶层男士中流行一时。随着Charles和 Julia的恋情的发展，Sebastian变得越来越消沉，田园诗般的牛津和Brideshead也渐渐在画面中暗淡，被悲哀感伤的气氛所取代。

该剧获1982年艾美奖最佳迷你剧集、最佳男主角（Anthony Andrews、Jeremy Irons）、最佳男女配角等多项提名，最后只有Laurence Olivier获最佳男配角奖。Anthony Andrews最初是被选中来演Charles一角的，但读完小说后他认定自己更适合演Sebastian，而Sebastian本来是由Jeremy Irons来演，他本人则更感兴趣Charles，两人因此互换了角色。
