The recent Brideshead revisited film is not very good. It is an abomination set to film. It manages to be less romantic than the TV series, despite the boys actually kissing. Further, it misses the point of the novel, and makes it look as if the story is a love triangle.

In the TV-series, Irons and Andrews have amazing chemistry. The two are always touching or looking into each other's eyes, and Julia is left out of the picture until it is her turn to shine. And shine, she does- The story goes on, and it is heartbreaking. If you like tragic love affairs and slow-burn, individual-focused drama, the TV-series is highly recommended. The story is very catholic, but catholic in a way that even non-catholics can appreciate, if that makes sense. Faith is a running theme in the book, but it doesn't seem to be making anyone happy.

(The book is also absolutely lovely.)
