The French-set comedy-drama Mr. Blake at Your Service, starring John Malkovich, French actress Fanny Ardant, and the late Émilie Dequenne will open in U.S. theaters on June 20, 2025.

In a rare French-speaking role, Malkovich plays Andrew Blake, a recently widowed British businessman who accepts a job as a butler in a countryside manor in an effort to stay connected to the memory of his late French wife. As he adjusts to the idiosyncrasies of the estate and its residents, Blake begins an unexpected journey of healing, connection, and rediscovery.

Fanny Ardant stars as Nathalie de Beauvillier, the reserved and eccentric lady of the manor, while Émilie Dequenne delivers one of her final screen performances as Odile, the spirited manor cook. Through their sharp, touching, and often funny moments with Blake, the emotional core of the film comes to life.

Directed by bestselling author Gilles Legardinier and based on his 2012 novel Complètement cramé! from a screenplay written by Legardinier and Cristel Henon, the film also features Eugénie Anselin, Al Ginter, Anne Brionne, and Christel Henon.

Mr. Blake at Your Service premiered in the U.S. at the Newport Beach Film Festival on October 17, 2023, and has since been released theatrically across France, Spain, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Australia, and New Zealand.

“We are delighted to be bringing the incredibly charming Mr. Blake at Your Service to audiences in the U.S.,” said Andrew Nerger, Head of U.S. and International Distribution at Sunrise Films. “It captivated us from the moment we first screened it, and we hope audiences will fall in love with it just as we did when it premieres later this June.”
