Chevalier

Synopsis: Taking inspiration from the remarkable real-life narrative of composer Joseph Bologne, known as Chevalier de Saint-Georges, this film tells the story of his extraordinary journey. Bologne, portrayed by Kelvin Harrison Jr. in an exceptional performance, defies odds as the illegitimate child of an African slave and a French plantation owner. He deftly ascends the ranks of French society, gaining fame as a highly acclaimed violinist-composer and skilled fencer. Along the way, he experiences a tragic love affair and encounters discord with Marie Antoinette (Lucy Boynton) and her court.

Cast: Kelvin Harrison Jr., Samara Weaving, Lucy Boynton, Marton Csokas, Alex Fitzalan, Minnie Driver
