study in blue

[lauralh]

Just finished watching Impromptu, a rather charming period piece about the beginnings of the affair between Chopin (Hugh Grant) and Sand (Judy Davis). I never thought Judy Davis was all that, but she definitely has a remarkable voice. I thought she carried the role well.

And of course Hugh Grant was utter perfection. Sure he pretty much plays the same character all the time, but he's so good at it. Tis a pity he's now a popular commodity, because I've loved every period piece he's done. Although I admit that either period piece good-guys or current day villains are equally enjoyable when he plays them.

I saw that when it first came out. I loved it. Nothing finer then a butch chick who loves her sissy man.

haha, werd. I was actually reading that she dumped him b/c she was afraid he was going for her daughter after like 10 years or so. Maybe they should do a sequel, it has been 10 years :)

Yeah, I remember reading that. Damn musicians, just like them. They have a bitchin' chick and they try and go for another broad.
How Jerry Springer of Chopin, going after the daughter.

That would be a cool sequal.
Impromptu II: hot polanaise lovin's.

Actually it sounds like George Sand just THOUGHT he was after the daughter. He actually died shortly after the affair ended, I mean. Doesn't sound like he got any of that young booty.

So, she became wacky and insecure. He died of a broken heart or consumption (because that was a pretty hip thing to do back then) and everyone ended up unhappy.
I love it. Typical repressed hot 19th century stuff.

Better then Hardy or D.H. Lawrence
