Mr Blake at your service!
In 'Mr Blake at Your Service!', John Malkovich stars as Andrew Blake, a widowed British businessman who abandons his structured life in London to return to France, hoping to reconnect with the memory of his late wife. Expecting solitude and reflection, he instead finds himself mistaken for a butler at the grand yet fading Beauvillier estate and - drawn into the lives of its eccentric owner Nathalie (Fanny Ardant), the steadfast cook Odile, a young cleaner seeking purpose, and a weary manager trying to hold it all together.
As Blake adjusts to a world far removed from his own, his unexpected stay becomes a lesson in humility, humour, and the quiet redemption that comes from service and connection.
Warm, witty, and deeply humane, Mr Blake at Your Service! is a tender portrait of rediscovery — reminding us that it’s never too late to start over, or to find home in the most unlikely of places.
