Short description

Andrew Blake is a British businessman struggling with the loss of his wife. He travels from London to a French estate called the Domaine de Beauvillier, the place where he first met her, seeking comfort in his memories. Due to a misunderstanding, the owner of the property, Madame Nathalie Beauvillier, mistakes him for a prospective butler. Rather than correcting the error, Blake accepts the role. He finds himself managing the eccentricities of the household, including a stern cook and a secluded caretaker, leading to a period of personal renewal for himself and the other staff members.

The film was directed by Gilles Legardinier and written by Yann Samuell, Christel Henon, and Legardinier. It stars John Malkovich as Andrew Blake alongside Fanny Ardant, Émilie Dequenne, Eugenie Anselin, Philippe Bas, and Christel Henon. A joint production between Luxembourg and France, the movie had a budget of 7 million USD and earned 3 million USD at the worldwide box office. Audience reception was moderately positive, with a rating of 6.3/10 on IMDb based on 2,100 votes and a score of 6.4/10 on TMDB from 114 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • John Malkovich performed his role in French. The actor is fluent in French, but learning so many lines was not easy. A language coach, the daughter of the film's director and screenwriter Gilles Legardinier, came to Malkovich's aid.
