Review of Impromptu (1991) by Jay N — 14 May 2008
A fantastic movie based on a chapter of novelist George Sand's life. I've seen it countless times. George Sand really had a way with men!
Seriously, Judy Davis, Emma Thompson, and Mandy Patinkin's acting were fantastic (although the guy who played Franz Liszt wasn't that great) The movie was light, airy, witty (especially the scene where they are acting in a play) and romantic. Movies like this make me love the costume genre!
I will say though, that I never understood fully Lizst's mistress's motives for wanting to keep George and Chopin apart, but no matter, a must-see.
