Polish patriot and composer Frédéric Chopin is one of the 19th century's most famous musicians, whose love of country and devotion to his legendary music are threatened by his passionate affair with novelist George Sand and his rivalry with mentor Josef Elsner. Despite his failing health and Poland's subjugation by the Russians, Chopin continues playing, deciding to give one last rousing concert tour across Europe that could cost him his life.

Indefensible as either art or history, Charles Vidor's Chopin biopic is the absolute textbook definition of kitsch. Go to Full Review

Kylo P May 14, 2016 Mixed feelings. I love the story of genius (Chopin) and especially the involvement of a second genius (Lizst). There is some wonderful music (although some Chopin, I must admit, I find forced). On the other hand it has the typical problem of old movies: weak acting, conspicuous dramatic devices. As interesting and inspiring as the story would be if there was truth to it, it is apparently all fiction - and I could feel that while watching. Slight thumbs down overall. 4.8 out of 10 See more
