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?
“一个人并非生下来就是女人，而是逐渐长成了女人”。
那是生命吗？不是，那是一种只会攻击女人的病，而在一些地方，治疗这种病的权利已然被剥夺，为了治疗这种病，她们不是赌上了一生就是赌上了生命。
生病了 the kind of malaise that only haunts women and put them into housewives. Beautifully shot and performed 镜头一直跟踪女生的侧面后面呼吸身体疼痛疑惑不解 视角凝聚 很真实 be bold. It needs to be taken there.
视听语言没问题 但是剧本一般般 法国女的果然刚
喜欢它坦率地展现女性欲望。堕胎有罪，性滥可耻，越按捺越蓬，骑枕头或谷仓偷欢，道德之墙拦不住红杏生长；孕后与男同学第一次是被动被迫，后来反而获得主动权，反正有都有了。
沉浸式恐怖大作，一种只有女人会得的病，把女人变成家庭主妇的病。
不同国家的女性，都是男权政策的受害者……影片最后男医生说的"自然流产"，我真的是想骂人，一个年华正好的女性的生死命运被他人掌握……
22006难以承受。除了其中几幕，这其实是一部很美的电影。可是就因为那个要么侵犯要么被侵犯的，她的子宫，让所有世间生活的美与她无关。
“一种只有女人会得的病，而且这种病会让她们变成家庭主妇。”
每个单身女子的噩梦，看得犹如当头被人打了一棒——“把每个女人变成家庭主妇的癌症。” Jesus fuck.
真的好无聊啊 后半段还可以 全片感觉非常陈腐 完全不像是和Titane同一年拍出来的片子
正发生，确实，这么多年过去了，这样的事还在发生。
“大部分医生反对堕胎，他们不认为这是女性的一种选择。”
挺真切，因为又好喜欢女主，仿佛有切身之痛。
取巧的议题，电影本身没有什么亮点。凭什么击败犬之力拿下金狮啊？我不理解=_=
2. 能够拿金狮，个人觉得还是有政治正确叠了buff，影片本身还没有精彩到这样的水平
高高扬起头颅 高高举起旗帜
改編自法國知名女作家安妮艾諾 (Annie Ernaux) 的自傳《記憶無非徹底看透的一切》，片中殘酷而寫實的墮胎場面，再加上對於1960 年代的法國女性所背負的背負的道德與責任，做了生理上與心理上的雙重描繪，令人震撼！電影相當於作家Annie Ernaux本人的經歷；高齡82歲的Annie Ernaux經歷過60年代女性仍受桎梏無法自主與獲得應當的社會地位，乃至68年五月風暴後給予法國女性的解放。Diwan在改編Ernaux的作品時，保持作者低限、冷靜的敘事風格，令主角Anne置身於人群裡，卻被孤立於人群之外，既實驗也大膽。
#法国文化中心#冷静客观的视角呈现，只不过在一众优秀的“堕胎电影”面前倒也显得平庸。
这个片子看之前都不知道是讲啥的，一度以为是一个青春片；整个堕胎的故事拍得只能说一切都恰到好处，但是也没有突破的地方，导演似乎非常钟爱贴脸跟拍的技法，女主眼睛是真的大，这个片子的主旨似乎还不是《432》，好像和《女人韵事》更接近，是讲法国男人作战的时候见不着影，战争结束之后倒是对女人出手很积极
