Impromptu (1991)
6/10
charming "nothing special" film
20 June 2003
NOT worth owning - which for me is one big criteria. There are good actors, the acting is barely ok. The story is a bit boring, the characters try very hard to act the famous artists but are so alike that it gets boring. And the main part of the story, namely George Sand pursuing Chopin, almost takes a second seat - and then when it comes to a conclusion we have The End. Missing out on the super-dull like Sand and Chopin had in Spain, until Chopin was brought back to Poland by his sister, wrote and played passionate powerful music again, and died. I guess this would have been to much for a movie that only wanted to be calm, mildly entertaining, middle-of-the-road.

Again, DON'T buy the DVD, renting it is plenty (and I'd be surprised you'd want to rent it again).
