LAMBERT WILSON TO PLAY
KING LOUIS PHILLIPE IN "CHOPIN, CHOPIN"
 |
| Lambert Wilson will take a royal role |
SET IN
the first half of the 19th century, it will be an accurate and
touching vision of the last part of the composer’s life alternating
between lavish court scenes, where French King Louis Philippe will
appear both flippant and distressed, and intimate moments, showing the
solitude of this artist and his eventual descent into illness and death.
Chopin was a volcano of 
energy, a prankster and the king of society. He
loved parties and going to bed at 10 in the morning. On the other hand,
he was an introvert, shunned by the
world and locked in a cocoon of
music, and plagued by terminal illness. That’s how he will be portrayed
in the film: as a man torn between two women, death and music. Above are first photos from the film.
