Brideshead Revisited (12A)

Shy, middle-class student Charles Ryder arrives at Oxford University, where young men of privilege waltz around the quads in a drunken stupor as if they truly belong there. After a somewhat inglorious first encounter with Sebastian Flyte vomiting through his bedroom window, Charles is invited to join the aristocrat’s inner circle, forging an intimate bond with this fey and fragile young man. Sebastian invites his new friend to the childhood estate, Brideshead, where Charles meets the formidable Lady Marchmain and falls under the spell of Sebastian’s sister Julia.
