Based on the novel of the same name byAmor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow plunges us into post-revolutionary Russia, where the aristocracy must cope with the radical changes imposed by the Bolshevik regime. Ewan McGregor plays Count Alexander Rostov, a nobleman who, instead of being executed, is sentenced to house arrest in a luxurious Moscow hotel, on pain of death if he leaves.
Directed by Sam Miller(Luther) and Sarah O'Gorman(The Witcher), the series blends historical drama, existential reflection and intimate chronicle, as Rostov attempts to rebuild his life behind the walls of the Metropol.
A Gentleman in Moscow will be available on Paramount+ from February 20, 2025, with all 8 episodes available from launch.
Synopsis: In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, Count Alexander Rostov discovers that his privileged status puts him on the wrong side of history. Although he escapes immediate execution, a Soviet court sentences him to live holed up in a room in the attic of the luxurious Hotel Metropol, and threatens him with death if he ever leaves. As the years pass and the country goes through some of the most tumultuous decades in its history, Rostov's restricted living conditions open him up to a vast world of emotional discovery. As he builds a new life within the walls of the hotel, he discovers the true value of friendship, family and love.
Un gentleman à Moscou is an elegant, behind-the-scenes series for fans of historical frescoes and introspective narratives. Through the destiny of a single man, the series explores the transformations of a rapidly changing world, while offering a reflection on resilience, adaptation and the meaning of freedom.
Audiences who have enjoyed works such as The Lady's Game, The Crown or Chernobyl may be seduced by the carefully crafted atmosphere and psychological depth of the story. The presence ofEwan McGregor, accustomed to dense, nuanced roles, adds a touch of elegance and emotion to this intimate fresco.
However, those who prefer more fast-paced narratives or thrilling political intrigue may find this contemplative drama a little slow.
A Gentleman in Moscow is an elegant, immersive adaptation that blends history, emotion and the quest for meaning. Ewan McGregor, surrounded by a first-rate cast, brings to life a series full of finesse and nostalgia, in which the luxury of a Soviet palace becomes the stage for a profound inner transformation.
