Mr Blake At Your Service A Heart-Warming Finale From Film Arts Mackay

Saving the best film for last, Film Arts Mackay are screening the highly anticipated romantic comedy-drama Mr Blake at Your Service featuring the dynamic duo of John Malkovich and Fanny Ardant. Malkovich's brilliant underrated comedic style is on full display as he takes on the role of the charming British businessman, Andrew Blake.

In a twist of fate, Blake becomes the butler of the Domaine de Beauvillier estate, owned by the graceful and aloof Madame de Beauvillier (Ardant). A once-distinguished manor house, the estate is now a shadow of itself, with rooms, staff, and residents all longing for better days.

Adapted and directed by the author of the bestselling French novel, Complètement Cramé!, this very sweet and humorous film explores culture clashes, unexpected friendships, and second chances at happiness.
