Film

See the merch from Mr. Holmes →

In 1947, the long-retired Sherlock Holmes, aged 93, lives in a remote Sussex farmhouse with his widowed housekeeper Mrs Munro and her young son Roger. Having just returned from a trip to Hiroshima, Holmes starts to use jelly made from the Zanthoxylum piperitum plant he acquired there to try to improve his memory disorder. Unhappy about Dr. Watson fictionalisation of his last case, ''The Adventure of the Dove Grey Glove'', he hopes to write his own account, but has trouble recalling the events. As Holmes spends time with Roger, showing him how to take care of the bees in the farmhouse's apiary, he comes to appreciate Roger's curiosity and intelligence and develops a paternal liking for him.

What it is made of

The source

221B Baker Street

The visual material comes in two layers. Sidney Paget's gives the silhouette: the ear-flapped hunting cap, the Inverness cape, the magnifying glass, the sharp profile; William Gillette's adds the drooping calabash pipe. Underneath, the canon leaves objects far stranger and far more specific: a Persian slipper stuffed with tobacco, unanswered letters pinned to the mantelpiece with a jack-knife, a patriotic «V. R.» shot into the wall in bullet holes, a Stradivarius bought for 55 shillings, a syringe, a hound with phosphorus smeared on its muzzle.
