Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
this is what u did. 从苹果与乐园开始，到电影开场的丈夫自杀，所有男性对女性责难符号化成一场往复无穷的循环分娩。神权，暴力机关，疯癫都归结于性凝视，总有简单化的嫌疑。这剧情像是所有创伤女性永恒的噩梦：异化而分岔肢体带有的绝对力量，入侵伴随的耻辱和自身完整性的丧失。她在这个循环里给出的答案是，倒转hide and seek 的权力关系，绝不放开手里的斧头。
五星佳作。立意好，执行棒，能把「女性所处的世界」这一概念做成这样的沉浸式恐怖游戏，佩服。声音设计有call back，制造了新的恐怖桥段。相比之下，其他女性题材的影视作品就显得隔靴搔痒。
除了诡异也没啥了，精神层面就男权噩梦、面对心魔。加兰一直接不到大制作项目，也只能整这些了。★★★/6.1
masterpiece and major panic attack.
全都是老得不行的桥段，一点新意也没有。美队的表演出奇地还不错。大vallian的表演完全没有说服力。整个故事情节没有逻辑和主线。大概还是50年前那一套表现男性气质的东西，一点进步也没有。
在网飞这几年砸钱的作品中，这部《灰影人》还比不上前两年迈克尔贝的《鬼影特工》。一样的豪华阵容，一样公费旅游，这部给我折磨多多了。高司令还是完美人设，冷酷杀手兼温情保姆，而美队就单纯是个有小胡子的暴躁老哥，安娜则单纯是个辅助角色还不如花瓶呢，起码有个展示时间。三人没有擦出任何火花，甚至连两大男主都没什么对手戏。打斗枪战追逐戏，没有爆炸贝剪辑得那么碎，但也没好多少，开头酒店的一段灯光烟雾快闪，让我还对罗素兄弟有所期待，但后面就失望了。最关键的是，都有2亿美金的预算了，为什么还安排这么多幕夜戏，混战中一片黑暗，就只听到枪声和东西破碎的声音，差点没忍住快进。
死人早就不吓人了，这年头吓人的是活人。
生理结构给女性带来了无法回避甚至无法抵御的规训 - 繁殖 当然 在社会生活中 everything comes in the name of love 这个片子对于女性来说是彻头彻尾的恐怖片
可以说，是女性凝视下对于男性形象的一大扫射了。因为并不脸盲，所以在神父出来后我就隐约猜到导演的意图。到后来的直接每个形态都有一个一分为二的手臂时，大概更直接摊牌了。而片尾最后十几分钟简直是邪典电影的高峰。。在等不到满足时，男人居然能自我繁殖。那么最终走出来的是一个完整牌的心魔，也就不足为奇。最后的完整版拥有前面几个全部的特性。而他至死都还自以为是的对着女人说，我想要的不过是你的爱。------好滑稽。
25.05.2022 | @ Regal Majestic | 也没有打什么女拳，只是把男权捣碎了踩在脚下而已。IGN评分去死吧居然还比不上Old。标题翻译请不要去性别化谢谢，这片讲的就是男人。
要不是因为有这几个演员，谁看啊，不对，这拍的我都快不认识他们了，罗素兄弟近两年拍的真让人感到迷惑
除了打斗追车拍得还算炫酷外，只剩下老套无聊的剧情和不可理喻的结局，真不明白女主有狙击枪为何不用，留着反派过年吗？
看到最后就跟女主角的心情一样，你爱咋咋吧。
大家要带着艺术的心态去看这部厌男杰作（男导演拍厌男深入骨髓哈哈哈哈）它几乎将现实生活里女性对男性的厌恶、恐惧、憎恶全部以邪典的形式具象化了。男性至死是少年、男性至死爱当爹、男性天生就抱团。
跟现在社会大环境差不多，一个男人的问题=所有男人都一样，那么苦大仇深就换一个，不想换就不要换 自己一个人过～标签化日益严重的社会在这种毫无故事逻辑的剧本下只会继续退步，大家只会失智化宣泄～就好比青春变形记那位导演一样，一个华人家庭是那样=所有华人都一样，还怕不了解的人标签贴的不够多吧
6.27 “男人都不是什么好东西”，把男权的压迫具象化为一个个独立个体，表达是有的，结尾妊娠套娃的cult质感也很变态，可就是太垮了……前半个小时真的快睡死了
类似于查理考夫曼的《失常》的设计，小镇中同一面孔的男性都是死去丈夫的投射，都代表着丈夫对女主的不同形式的压迫，释放蒲公英（精子）的裸体男人是性压迫，孩童是言语暴力，教士代表着规训，警察代表掌控。房东是家庭的象征，最后凶相毕露则是家暴，就像回忆中丈夫的那击倒自己的一拳。加兰的新尝试，一部反应女性遭受不公与迫害的寓言电影，男女主演的表演撑起全片，片尾的套娃生殖年度WTF场面
影片所有的男性角色除了丈夫都是由罗里金尼尔扮演的。
2.5 / 依然很喜欢那些《湮灭》式时刻，加兰依然有那种把所有无比自然真实的环境拍成虚假合成景观的能力，这也是其营造氛围的最重要方式。但除此之外，这真的只是一个概念短片……
