the story of Chopin's love for writer George Sand

I thought I knew everything about Polish pianist Frederic Chopin living in Paris, but this film thought me even more. This is the true story about his 8-year love story with writer George Sand (a prolific and talented woman writer who used a man's name in order to sell her books in France).

A docu-drama, it is the best combined use of art, dance, music and acting in a single film i've ever seen assembled. The photography is full of creativity and inspiration; simply outstanding. The minimalist sets are all you need to allow you to completely zoom-in on the acting and the emotions lived by the actors.

This film has all the directing talent that you could ever imagine as the best. Phil Comeau is an inspired director.

I encourage you to see it too. It is available in French or English.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
