Unfortunately,the story is not that interesting. Actually, the plot is pretty standard love story formula. With some role reversals. Here girl loves boy, girl(dressed as man)pursues man. Girl's trusted friend, betrays her, and in the end the girl gets the man. Although he is the female in the relationship, she is the male...well, it's all a little muddled,and too neatly resolved for all.
I thought that this movie was going to try to make some kind of statement about artists. Their sacrifice for art, how art moves them to love, or simply about the commercialization of art. Unfortunately, it was just a simple love story.
The cast is one of the best there is. Judy Davis, as Georges Sand, is wonderful, a real powerhouse. Hugh Grant, is surprisingly very good as Chopin, the brilliant pianist who is taught by Sand how to live.
Mandy Patinkin, Bernadette Peters, and Julian Sand are all quite good as well. Emma Thompson is especially strong.
Well worth renting, "Impromptu" is a wonderful looking, beautifully acted 19th century not very absorbing,period piece.
