What is it about 19th century Paris that captures my imagination? The top hats, the tailored frocks? The film "Impromptu" is about a group of friends who are artists, writers, and composers centering around the unlikely match of the frail Chopin and cross-dressing Georges Sand. With Eugene Delacroix, Franz Liszt, and Alfred de Musset completing the circle, this band of bohemians give creativity such a rarefied air of savoir faire that I cannot help to want to join in. Whether or not this portrayal of the time is accurate, it still delights, and that is enough.
