The composer Frédéric Chopin (Piotr Adamczyk) is entering a fruitful period musically, with expectations that moving to Paris will inspire him further. However, when he arrives in the city, he is met with general indifference -- in no small part due to an outbreak of cholera. Chopin's fortunes change for the better when he encounters Amantine Dupin (Danuta Stenka), who writes novels under the pseudonym George Sand, but their affair is constantly undercut by their egos and artistic ambitions.

Audience Member good period/historical drama Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Great music and nice to learn about the life of this important composer. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member His life didn't touch my heart. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Dear Chopin, I rather listen to your music, 'cause you were surrounded with stupid people and weren't smart enough to get out of it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I adore Chopin music!!! Actually the play of the music was great, But I expected the movie to be much better. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member All the stars come purely from costumes and sceneries. Acting is just terrible: Chopin either didn't talk or when he talked, I wanted him to stop. The story is cheesy and historically incorrect: it focuses on Chopin's sex life, even though Chopin was told to be asexual. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
