A Gentleman in Moscow | Official Trailer | SHOWTIME

An adaptation of Amor Towles’ internationally best-selling novel, A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW follows Count Alexander Rostov, played by Emmy® Award-winning actor Ewan McGregor (Star Wars franchise, Halston, Trainspotting), who, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, finds that his gilded past has placed him on the wrong side of history. Spared immediate execution, he is banished by a Soviet tribunal to an attic room in a grand Moscow hotel and threatened with death if he ever sets foot outside again. As the years pass and some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history unfold outside the hotel’s doors, Rostov’s reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger 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. Series premiere streaming March 29 with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan.

A Gentleman in Moscow | Official Trailer | SHOWTIME

The historical accuracy is amazing! The black man with dreads is spot on!

[CinemaRockPizza]

You know… once a year we have a hot summer with green parks in Russia. Why winter again?

[astroantares]

The film is from people who have seen Moscow only in pictures and do not know what a "gentleman" is

The Americans decided to send a spy to the Soviet Union.
So they chose one person. His legend was developed
brilliantly. He thoroughly learned the Russian language up to
correct accent. And here he is, dressed in a hat with earflaps and a padded jacket,
thrown into the forest, not far from the village. He comes out of the forest
comes up to the hut and says:
- Grandma, give me some water to drink.
Grandma answers him:
- And you, my dear, wouldn’t happen to be a spy?
- Where did you get the idea?
- There have never been any blacks in our area.

Silly me, I thought Black Russians were cocktails.

The trailer could've been wonderful if it weren't for one "little" distortion of history: Africans in Russia!
Except for famous individuals like Abram Petrovich Gannibal (great-grandfather of Alexander Pushkin), there have never been large communities of Africans in Russia/Soviet Union as there are in the US and other Western countries.
How do I know this? Well, my mother is from the former Soviet Union and one of the stories she told me of her life there was when she was a child, a football (soccer) team from some African country came to participate in a match in the USSR and passed through her town. Their arrival became an instant spectacle because neither my mother nor anyone in her town had ever seen a black person! I even showed her this trailer and the first question she immediately asked was "Why are there blacks?".
If this historical distortion keeps up in American cinema, Russian films and TV series taking place in the US will be much more accurate

God, what cranberries, eternal winter, foam snow, black woman hotel administrator.

What's a black man with dreads doing in Moscow during the 1920s? You could've went on and put a few Bangladeshis there as well.

[shelbyscot]

I had no idea half of Russia's population is of African descent. I am grateful for this educational factual show.

[astroantares]

The entire trailer consists of historical mistakes. Russians who watch it see Lincoln on a dinosaur with a bazooka and the white house in which Ronald Reagan fights with Capone with lightsabers.

[misterspray]

I had no idea that they'd brought this to the screen. It's a great book.
I had brunch in the main dining room with a very good friend of mine 20 years ago with my newly adopted, 7-month-old son in a basket on the floor next to our table.

[stormhawk]

Diversity in 1920’s Russia 😂
So historically accurate

[pemzdlc]

Клюква)) ну у иностранцев всегда своя вымышленная Россия. Поэтому они нас никогда не раскусят)

[circagenx]

I absolutely enjoyed working on this production in special effects department SFX. Surreal pleasure meeting Ewan and the rest of the guys.

[felegyhazifilmklub]

This is purely fiction. This kind of styling is SO different from the 20's in Soviet-Union.

[Andrexrus]

Not enough cranberries and inclusivity. Stalin must be black, everyone must constantly drink vodka with bears on unicycles. With the main character, as in the series The Witcher, there should be a man with a balalaika and a hat with earflaps.

[sudstahgaming]

Ewan Mcgregor is such an underrated actor because he simply keeps acting well simple, hes such a naturally talented guy he doesn't need to change his persona or personality he just naturally fits into every role being himself more or less which is extraordinary.

[suereed]

This was my favorite book of all time. Every page was an absolute pleasure. What a herculean task to try to make a movie based on it. Good luck!
