Inspired by the incredible true story of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. The illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner, Bologne (Kelvin Harrison Jr. in a tour de force performance) rises to improbable heights in French society as a celebrated violinist-composer and fencer, complete with an ill-fated love affair, and a falling out with Marie Antoinette (Lucy Boynton) and her court. Also starring Samara Weaving, Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo, Marton Csokas, Alex Fitzalan and Minnie Driver, Searchlight Pictures’ “Chevalier” was produced by Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe and Dianne McGunigle, written by Stefani Robinson, and directed by Stephen Williams.

Reviews

Australian Financial Review

John McDonald

Although there is currently a huge effort underway to unearth, perform and record Bologne’s music, it would take all the forces of militant wokeness to put him on the same plane as Gluck.

Chevalier spends a great deal of time showing the composer’s struggle with dual identities, leaving the final act rushed and barely shows him reconnecting with his roots.

It's based on a true story of a man who, sadly, has been forgotten by history. Kelvin Harrison, Jr's charisma really comes through and you can understand why Joseph Bologne took over, for a time, French society.

Sunday Arts Magazine Podcast (JOY 94.9)

Stephen A. Russell

I really wanted to love this ... but it's just really pat ... Lucy Boynton is cataclysmic as Marie Antonette... a middling biopic.

What stands to be Bologne’s tragic flaw for most of the film is the belief that his accomplishments, accolades, and celebrity-like status in society are enough to overpower the systemic racism that surrounds him.
