Impromptu is ambitious like its protagonist Chopin but it looks average unlike him. A classical French drama presented in a contemporary light works on a leisurely script to attract today's audience. The comedy is a biography of the musical genius Chopin depicting him as an ebullient clown replacing the prevailing notion of him being a lonely personality that's been musing in his loss. There is a lovable side to Chopin's frugal lifestyle in the blissful country outside Paris with a gifted group of close friends. But that's where the problem could lie, our hero is intimidated by a busier than thou world as he creates an artificial space around him and that is moving.
The film has dedicated under acting but uses poor language and much could be done here given that the film is still working inside France. For the dark comedy it is there is no depth understandably, but it makes the film impersonal and estranged.
All this put together ends in a scary duel scene with Chopin having to fight for his ideas but this does not go too badly as we are treated with a happy ending.
The fatalism is not missing as we witness a pure opera with all its elation and scares created by the pathbreaking composer. The film makes a connection between the ordinary world and the higher and special genius of man and is able to achieve a level of trust here that's quite rare and worth lauding.
