What a firework of acting talent! There is so much to see in actors' faces, expressions, voices... even those playing small roles do have incredible depth and personality...Isn't this what fine acting is supposed to be?
So far I can't say I am taken with directing - it is more determined to let the good actors do their work than with leaving any heavy stamp... but that acting! Oh, man, this is like finding oneself in a well stocked wine cellar with no one looking!
BTW - Sir John Gielgud looks amazingly like clark. And to say his part so far has been played with simply incredible charm, character and power would be the understatement of the day.
Thank you Patrick for this treasure!
Follow Ups:
Victor,"Brideshead", plus "I Claudius", "Jewel in the Crown", and "Tinker Tailor, Soldier Spy" prove that television CAN be made into something great- if only for a few hours at a time!
Waugh claimed that Brideshead was a kind of confection he pulled off while pining for a square meal during WWII, and indeed, the book is a little starchy, but the Geoffery Burgon Granada version is astounding.
Every part in Brideshead seems to have found a perfect actor.
Cheers,
Bam
