Chevalier

Chevalier is a fascinating drama that retells the story of a dazzling 18th century musician. 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. [2022, Czech Republic, 07 min, Rating: PG-13, In French with English subtitles] Carla Renata of The Curvy Film Critic exclaims, “Kelvin Harrison, Jr. is a force to be reckoned with. With each and every role he inhabits a brand-new chapter of his talent in unveiled and his portrayal of Chevalier is no different. In fact, it’s his best role to date.” Venue: Cinema Art Theater.
