Chopin: Desire For Love

Buy This Item Chopin: Desire For Love by Mti Home Video  Available from Amazon  $8.99  on 11-16-2008     The music of Polish Composer Chopin makes this DVD worth it. The story is excellent and truly captures Chopin (I've read many books on Chopin). <br />Cinematogrophy, scenery costuming are so real! With all its great points, again, the music, all by itself, is worth it - so beautiful; so Chopin!!! <br />It will take you away; A must for Chopin fans, lovers of beautiful music and, of course, all piano enthusiasts and teachers. Bravo! Reader Reviews There is not a lot of information about the relationship between pianist Frederic Chopin and authoress George Sand because their correspondence was destroyed. Hence, we have people conjecturing screenplays to tell their story.There are three cinematic attempts that are out there to tell this story.They all fall short of any truth.Thank God Frederic Chopin's music is wonderful,because this film about his life and "love" with George Sand from Polish writer/director Jerzy Antczak is an awkward and unfulfilling piece of Period Cinema that is simply put,bad!.The screenplay is disjointed and flips from person to place with no warning.The acting and voiceovers are atrocious.It would have been better had it been recorded in Polish with subtitles. This film tries to be an AMADEUS, but can never rise to such heights.No DVD extras.Not a recommended rental or purchase. IMPROMPTU is a far more engaging and better acted film concerning Chopin and Sand.A SONG TO REMEMBER is lush 1930's Hollywood nonsense.
