Description: Has Zulawski ever made a comedy? No, he has not. But "La note bleue" is the "funniest" of Zulawski's films. It is irony and some malice towards his heroes that make the ambience.
The story reminds that of Ken Russell's Gothic: the greatest romantic artists spent a day and a night at a country palace; left by the unpaid servants they had to prepare meals themselves. But the passions burst in an incontrollable way...
The artist are: Georges Sand, Alexandre Dumas (son), Eugene Delacroix, Ivan Tourgueniev and above all - Frédéric Chopin, who is the main hero of the film. Acted wonderfully by the great Polish pianist Janusz Olejniczak, he spends most time at his piano, playing madly and touchingly, fighting his illness (tuberculosis? now it is said that it was mucoviscidosis), frightened by smells and colours, engaged in sick erotic relationship with George Sand and her daughter (Sophie Marceau). Victorian himself, he is drowned in his libertine company because they adore him and finance his living - sad genius, meticulous and egocentric.
The music of Chopin is everywhere. If you do not like it you certainly will. Olejniczak plays with almost punk-rock energy, using the 19th-century instruments, and makes us realize convincingly why Chopin was beloved in the way the Beatles were 130 years later.
After seeing this movie, I just sat breathless in my armchair - I just hadn't seen such a movie before. Truly, a masterpiece on par with Peter Greenaway's finest. Beatufilly filmed, superbly acted (Olejniczak, a pianist by trade - a damn good one at that: he recorded the soundtrack to Polanski's "The Pianist" - is very true to the role of Chopin in his final moments), classy scenography... The action is presented in a way resembling the very atmosphere of the romantic period's art - hectic and rich in expression. The movie's goal is to portray emotions, not a plot - and this goal it achieves perfectly. But, as with romantic art, this movie requires a certain mindset - an openness to emotion - or it will be totally misunderstood. (from imdb)
