Synopsis
Aleksander Ford, Poland's postwar poet of the big screen, directed this re-discovered biopic of Frederic Chopin.
Focusing on the great composer's youth, the film chronicles the years 1825 to 1831, a time of social unrest throughout Europe. Ford depicts Chopin as not only an outstanding talent in music but also a young man inflamed with the revolutionary spirit of his native Poland. While on tour in Vienna, he gets word of the November Uprising in Warsaw and tries to return home only to fall ill.
Shown in venues around the world in conjunction with Chopin's 200th birthday, Ford's biopic is due for a re-evaluation as a classic of the Polish cinema.
