’Tis the year for book adaptations for the small-screen (then again, when is it not?) A Gentleman In Moscow, based on Amor Towles’ novel, stars real-life couple Mary Elizabeth Winsted and Ewan McGregor. In the Russia-set thriller, McGregor plays Count Alexander Rostov, who is banished by the Soviet tribunal to live in an attic hotel room for decades after the Revolution. As years pass, he builds a new life for himself inside the walls of the hotel while tumultuous events take place outside. [Saloni Gajjar]
