Mr. Holmes

The man behind the myth

The story is set in 1947, following a long-retired Holmes living in a Sussex village with his housekeeper and rising detective son. But then he finds himself haunted by an unsolved 50-year old case. Holmes' memory isn't what it used to be, so he only remembers fragments of the case: a confrontation with an angry husband, a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife.

Review: Mr. Holmes

A great deal of the recent Sherlock Holmes adaptations have embraced the more theatrical and compelling aspects of the character’s deductive skills, whilst doing away with a lot of the campiness and iconography.
