Based on the incredible true story of composer Joseph Bologne, “Chevalier de Saint-Georges,”
Chevalier is a period piece with a difference. “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. “A visually resplendent and captivating take on a musical genius”—Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com.
