BOLERO: THE GENESIS OF A MASTERPIECE

FRA/BEL 2024. D: Anne Fontaine. D: Raphaël Personnaz, Doria Tillier, Jeanne Balibar. 121 min. frzOmdtU. FSK: 6

A constant percussion rhythm, a sensual melody that builds and builds: Maurice Ravel's "Boléro" is one of the most famous pieces of music. How was it written?
In Paris in 1928, the eccentric dancer Ida Rubinstein commissions the composer to write music for her next ballet. But Ravel is unable to put anything down on paper. In order to find inspiration, he delves deep into his innermost being, coming to terms with the failures of his early years, the First World War and his impossible love for his muse Misia Sert...
Anne Fontaine combines the composer's disturbed inner life with the beguilingly erotic music he creates: an atmospheric musical drama with the charismatic Raphaël Personnaz in the leading role.
