Synopsis:
A wickedly funny and intelligent comedy
of manners, where lies & deception rule.
In this stylish, witty mystery/thriller, an investigator (Martin
Dejdar – Children of Dune) searches for the truth of
two dead men in an old manor run by an overbearing woman (Greta
Scachhi – The Player, Emma) and finds out quickly that
he’s caught in a web of lies & deceit. Everyone
is a suspect, everyone has a motive and the mystery unfolds
with comical twists and turns until the unpredictable ending.
Also starring Gabrielle Anwar (Scent of a Woman, Three Musketeers)
and Peter O’Toole (Lawrence of Arabia), The Manor is
a beautifully crafted period film with stellar performances
by a terrific cast.
