Sobre este filme

New nations are rarely born in peace…India, 1947: Lord Mountbatten (Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville) is dispatched, along with his wife Edwina (Gillian Anderson), to New Delhi to oversee the country's transition from British rule to independence. Taking his place in the resplendent mansion known as the Viceroy's House, Mountbatten arrives hopeful for a peaceful transference of power. But ending centuries of colonial rule in a country divided by deep religious and cultural differences proves no easy undertaking, setting off a seismic struggle that threatens to tear India apart. With sumptuous period detail, director Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham) brings to life a pivotal historical moment that re-shaped the world.

If you like old school British time pieces you'll enjoy this movie which is based on a true story. Acting is good and classically English.

Good historical drama. Great scenery.
