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?
20220726——196；今年的新片。巴黎的夜色很美很温柔。
齐乐山的目的是保护一个人，以及掩盖一个秘密。
电影里有段台词，刀仙和小师妹，双剑合璧杀妖怪。没有逐梦演艺圈，只有复仇和家国大义。
我发誓再也不看国产低成本密室悬疑剧了，看吐了，演技浮夸，剧情生硬，民国乱世风，每一点都让我很难受。这种烂俗场景风格的电影竟然还有人吹，而且这种风格还越来越多。。
每一次，我们都只是外来者
无数的生活，交织在巴黎夜色下，流淌在午夜电波中，无需言语，无尽浪漫。谁不是夜归人，在孤单的路上，自由的孤单。当他们随着音乐轻轻摇晃，我想起萨冈的那句“幸运的是，人生匆匆，我在这里，你在这里。我们共舞”。
同质量国产：一星，演技用力过猛，逻辑漏洞过多，喜剧不像喜剧，推理不像推理，四不像也叫电影。
被离婚的单身女人，带着两个孩子，之前没有工作经验，人生重启……这样的故事，法国人拍出就可以这样，一点都不酸楚，依然的浪漫，依然的优雅，依然的温馨，亲情爱情工作一样不缺，生活就应该是这样的！
倦怠的人类经过白日的毒害，万籁俱寂的深夜听着温吞嗓音垂眸落矣，思绪消散内心平静，如温牛奶进口顺滑微甜。
如果电影真的能像沈腾说的青史留名，让这部电影留名的情节，不是元素，而是素媛。
迷影，本格，社会，动作，隐喻，喜剧。
电影开始后5分钟就不能入场了，那就偷溜进去看圆月映花都吧
片子挺有种的。角色塑造立体有层次，镜头语言丰富，影迷梗应用得恰到好处，故事含蓄有留白，悬念能留到最后，调侃讽刺中透着悲凉和倔强。除了中间略跑题和拖沓，夹杂了一些没有必要的内容，作为处女作挺不错。最难得是同时拍出了人类的腐朽和光辉，还有那要命不值钱但弥足珍贵的东西——良心。
很舒服的片，现实生活再怎样也要有所享受，音乐，电影，诗，爱。
密室够不上本格派，表现张力难称社会派，
太敢讲了。在当今这个舆论环境下，勇气可嘉。
一股脑地塞元素，叠素材，不舍得做减法。
Il y aura ce que nous avons été pour les autres, des bribes, des fragments de nous que parfois ils crurent entrevoir. Il y aura ces rêves de nous qu'ils nourrirent, et ils ne nous étions jamais les mêmes, nous étions chaque fois ces inconnus magifiques
“导演，咱这部电影观众能看懂吗？”“不一定，但我觉得这片子一定能留下来，因为我们做到了一件正确的事——问心无愧。”
生命中会有很多过客，也会有很多欢乐和感动的瞬间。但一切都会转瞬即逝，所以还是珍惜这每一份短暂的美好吧
