A Gentleman in Moscow (2024) Series Review by Movie Maniac Swati Starring Ewan McGregor & Mary Elizabeth Winstead Streaming on Prime Video
Rating 9.0/10 - Fictional Historical Political Drama, Fallout of the Russian Revolution under Bolshevik Leninist-Stalinist Regime
Revolutions are an effective way to topple the deeply rooted established systems, historically there have been Political Revolution to uproot the stronghold of Monarchy & Aristocracy prominently in America, France & Russia similarly there were Cultural Revolutions which completely transformed societies into something else like in China. These movements were often started with humble and patriotic motives to stratify a particular type of socio-political system but with passage of time most of them were transformed into barbarism, pogroms and genocides, millions of people have been killed by designating as a group to be annihilated. Russian Bolshevik Revolution led by Lenin was no different, it started to topple the Tzarist Monarchy which was considered oppressive against the Proletariat & the working classes. But Lenin & his followers went to extreme when they went on a manhunt to kill every Aristocratic family in the new Russian Sovereign. The Series A Gentleman in Moscow follows the story of a surviving Aristocrat Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov who was banished to live in an attic of an elite Hotel, The Story is fictional but not very far from reality, it imagines how the people of the old ways survived the horrifying years under the iron hand rule of the Communist Regime. Story traverses 3 Decades following the life of Ilyich, he initially thought of running away but ultimately decided to stay at the hotel, surviving through the small bonds of companionships with various people. He went through exciting phases of life while involved in romantic relationships as well as depressive phases when he sometimes contemplated ending his own life. A very different kind of story to put a perspective for contemplation, how a person who is innocent survive through the times of persecution, when the people in power are trying to wipe out a whole way of living, how much emotional stress he or she must endure to maintain their sanity. The story is exceptional, it is a brilliant historical drama but the directional flaws like not using Russian actors with proper Russian accents leaves a bitter after taste, Evan McGregor is highly suitable for the dynamic character of Ilyich, poetically he is involved in a romantic love affair with the arrogant character of Actress Anna Urbanova portrayed by his real-life wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
