About
Synopsis
Impromptu (1991) is a British-French comedy drama you can watch online on iFILM. James Lapine directs Judy Davis as George Sand — the writer who published under a man's name and wore men's clothes in 1830s France — in relentless pursuit of the reclusive pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, played by Hugh Grant.
Davis plays Sand as a force of nature; Grant's Chopin keeps retreating into polite excuses and she keeps finding him anyway. Emma Thompson, Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters fill out the country-house ensemble. What starts as a drawing-room comedy quietly circles something harder: Chopin's declining health, and Sand's refusal to shrink herself for anyone's comfort. Watch Impromptu (1991) online on iFILM.
