19th Century Soap Opera
“Impromptu” is the story of the real-life affair between George Sand and Frederic Chopin. George Sand, whose real name was Amandine Aurore Lucie Dupin, became famous not only for her novels but also for taking a man’s name, wearing pants, and smoking cigars in public. The characters in the film constitute an impressive Who’s Who of the music and art world. Judy Davis is Sand, Hugh Grant is Polish composer Chopin, and Julian Sands is Franz Liszt. Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters portray French poet Alfred de Musset and Liszt’s mistress, Marie d’Agoult, respectively. Emma Thompson plays the Duchess D’Antan, the featherbrained Frenchwoman who brings all these celebrities together.<br /><br />This costume drama plays like period soap opera, with sex and naughty behavior propelling the action. Despite conflicting accents and the actors’ tendency to go just a shade over the top, “Impromptu” has its charms. Made in 1991, before of the many cast members went on to bigger and more substantial roles, the film has a voyeuristic quality, sort of a “Lives of the Rich and Famous: The 19th Century Edition.” The public has always been fascinated with the foibles of the renowned, and this picture feeds into that curiosity.<br /><br />Ms. Davis conveys an authoritatively aggressive manner as Sand, a woman who demanded equality at a time when women were not encouraged to lead a public life, and certainly not engage in romantic rebellion. Grant provides his cinematic charm as Chopin, who inspired Sand with his music.<br /><br />Director James Lapine has crafted a beautiful-looking movie. His stage training stands him in good stead; his direction keeps the actors on their game and the movie visually interesting, with a sweeping quality suitable to the subject matter. Production design and costumes are lush, and locations compare favorably with the grandeur of “Downton Abbey.” Bruno de Keyzer’s cinematography makes even the simplest settings shine.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the PG-13 rated Blu-ray release.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Blu-ray. From the accomplished theater director James Lapine (Into The Woods) comes Impromptu, his directorial film debut, and one that could very well be called When Chopin Met Sand. A delightful, witty and beautifully crafted film, Impromptu brings together a number of historical figures of the arts & letters variety who trade bon mots at a breakneck pace in this effervescent romp. The ambitious, social climbing Duchess d'Antan's (Emma Thompson, Love Actually), salon for the "artists of the moment," brings face-to-face the wildly unconventional and recently divorced Baroness Dupin AKA author George Sand (Judy Davis, Husbands and Wives) and the object of her unbridled affection - the talented, introspective and highly sensitive composer Frederic Chopin (Hugh Grant, Four Weddings and A Funeral). These are but two shining stars in a galaxy of 19th Century glitterati that includes composer Franz Liszt (Julian Sands, A Room With A View), French poet, dramatist and author Alfred de Musset (Mandy Patinkin, Homeland) and painter Eugene Delacroix (Ralph Brown, Alien 3). Written for the screen by Sarah Kernochan (What Lies Beneath), Impromptu is enhanced by the cinematography of Brune de Keyzer (The Princess of Montpensier) and the period costumes created by Academy Award-winning costume designer Jenny Beaven (A Room With A View)..
