Full Plot Details

1830s Paris. Novelist George Sand (Judy Davis), who is known to be writing her memoirs, is causing a sensation in the literary scene not only for the quality of her writing, but because of her extreme views and manners, including blurring the lines between the sexes - she generally wearing men's clothes - and her non-belief in the sanctity of marriage after having gone through the institution once before, now preferring sexual liaisons outside of her own wedlock, with the marital status of her lovers of no concern to her. She is just coming to the end of a turbulent affair with Jean Pierre Félicien Mallefille (Georges Corraface), who she is now trying to avoid in his continual pursuit of her. Despite thinking it will be a bore because of their insufferable hostess, she invites herself to a weekend gathering of some of France's greatest artistic and creative minds - many who are attending solely for a weekend of free food - at the country estate of the Duke (Anton Rodgers) and Duchess D'Antan (Dame Emma Thompson) in Angers. George's want to attend is largely to get away from Mallefille, but also to meet visiting Polish composer Frédéric Chopin (Hugh Grant), who is an acquaintance of her cohabiting friends, Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt (Julian Sands) and Countess Marie D'Agoult (Bernadette Peters). Marie largely acts as George's confidante. George has fallen in love with Chopin through his music, not even yet having met the man. George spends the weekend and beyond pursuing the sensitive and somewhat sickly Chopin, her conquest of him which may be difficult due to their fundamental differences. That conquest is made even more difficult by other guests of the Duke and Duchess: Mallefille; writer Alfred De Musset (Mandy Patinkin), another of George's former lovers; two hellions also known as her adolescent children, onto who she has passed her relaxed views of the world; and Marie, who George does not know wants to have a sexual liaison with Chopin behind Liszt's back.

Movie Reviews

Rolling Stone - 8/10 by Peter TraversDespite all this assembled talent, the film stubbornly refuses to come to life.
New York Times - 8/10 by Janet MaslinAnna Massey, who appears fleetingly as Sand's mother, offers a demonstration of how to make an overpoweringly fine impression in only a few minutes' time.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonMost of the hearty laughs are packed into the first half, but the more focused second part maintains interest as it cannily explores the topic of role reversals.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Hal HinsonA blissfully high-spirited romp about the circle of writers and musicians in 1830s Paris.
Goatdog's Movies - 6/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.It's mildly funny, mildly dramatic, and well-acted enough.
User Review - 10/10 by jay nA 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.
User Review - 10/10 by Ying Lquality movie, what can you say bad about it, just done in good taste, you won't leave disgusted, which I really love.
User Review - 10/10 by Cassie PWould someone _puh-leeeze_ help me find this on dvd, I am desperate.....
User Review - 10/10 by June NThis is probably one of Hugh Grant's first movies. About the life of Chopin and his love affair with George Sand (who was a woman writer taking on a male persona so she could be published). I love this dramatic, romantic, love story filled with deception and humor and intrigue. Great film!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Laura Wi heart this movie with every breath. hugh grant was just lovely!!! sigh, he swept something on my feet, hahaa !!! "I am not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love. That is all. But I love strongly, exclusively and steadfastly."
