Event Details

Starring Kelvin Harrison Jr., Samara Weaving, Lucy Boynton and Ronke AdekoluejoInspired 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 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 and her court. - RottenTomatoes.com""Entertainingly soapy fare with an unabashedly brash and anachronistic approach to its 18th-century tale."" - Mark Kermode, UK Observer, 7/11/23
