Chevalier

Inspired 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 (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.

[Kelvin Harrison, Jr.] is a singular, generational talent whose performance in the new film Chevalier is magnetic. It’s an absolutely scintillating turn that doesn’t so much burn up the screen as Harrison sets it ablaze.
