This movie is about the love affair between George Sand (Judy Davis) and Chopin (Hugh Grant). I did not know anything about George Sand (a French noblewoman and writer who went by the name of George Sand, wore man's clothing and slept with whomever she liked), so it was interesting to learn about her.
However, this movie is bad. The dialog is bad, many roles are mis-cast (Bernadette Peters in particular), and the production quality is poor. And then there are the accents, which are distracting at best. This is a movie with French characters filmed in English. That is fine. But some of the actors try to use accents, and slip in and out of them at will. Some, such as Judy Davis, use no accent at all. Hugh Grant as Chopin is supposed to be Polish, but he sounds like Count Dracula.
I would pass right over this one.
