Title: Disappointment!
Review: The movie concentrated on the acerbic, immature and utterly repulsive relationship between Chopin, George Sand, her son and her daughter. It would have made more sense to delve a bit into Chopin, his motivations, and the draw between Chopin and his muse. Snippets of his music were the only saving grace in the film. I came away without sympathy for any of the characters in the movie, unable to identify with any of them, and disgusted with the lot of them, from Chopin's hatred of chicken thighs to Sands being oblivious to the impact of her affair on her family, to Selange's throwing herself at Chopin and to Maurice's immaturity and hatred of Chopin. Talk about a dysfunctional family! And how did Chopin put together his magnificent music and maintain his irrepressible talent throughout all of this? A very disappointing movie.
