The Baroness Dyudevan , better known by the name of George Sand , in his estate gathers people he loves . What kind of people gathered there . Oh! Russian writer Ivan Turgenev , a famous singer Pauline Viardot , painter Eugène Delacroix , a French writer Alexander Dumas and, of course , Frederic Chopin . All , as the selection , genius . Film Blue Note shows their relationship , their conversations , their behavior . And it would be nice if there was shooting another film director, and not by Andrzej Zulawski . And this particular director . He does not know how to shoot a movie . He likes to shoot , so to speak, cartoon movies. And the movie "Farewell message" (he has called the " Blue Note " ) is somewhat comical . Directed boldly , even more grotesque , bulging out all the negative traits of great people. In general, the film - caricature . So to him , and could be taken , if at all this caricature were not human tragedy. And there is absolutely no laughing matter. The film is a multi-faceted , tracing a few lines associated with each main character . George Sand. Her role performed by French actress Marie -France Pisier ( the same one that played the Charlotte Bronte in " Bronte Sisters "). Here it is very different. Well, not for me to write. Everybody knows about the extravagance of George Sand : men's suit, a cigar , a lot of love affairs , bold , progressive views . That only is it an expression : "If you want to write - lie ! ". The role played by Frederic Chopin is not a professional actor, a Polish pianist Janusz Olejniczak , who himself and performs music . Nervous, painful , has stepped over the line separating the living from the dead. He played great , painfully . On the music in the film , you can write to infinity. It is - it is possible to say, and is the protagonist of the film. The daughter of George Sand cute Solange plays a young Sophie Marceau . It's beautiful . And the director showed her in a favorable light . Of course! After all, Sophie Marceau - the wife of the director. The relationship of the great mother and her children ( a son and a daughter Solange Moritz ), one of the most powerful moments in the film. The tragedy of children who can not get enough of maternal love and suffer from it , losing his face and turning into puppets , all imitating the mother. And it is not able to reach its greatness. About the film difficult to say, it should look . Lovely location shooting , the costumes , the intertwining of reality and phantasmagoria not leave anyone indifferent. Everything in this film is so intertwined with each other - the betrayal and loyalty, vices and virtues , life and death - that you realize that this is real life , despite the caricature movie. “Exquisitely portraying the last days of 19th century Europe's most infamous 'celebrity romance,' the Franco-Polish director Andrzej Zulawski has made a film that defines an era. Just as the Middle Ages (for us cinephiles) will always be Bergman's The Seventh Seal, or the Belle Epoque will always be Visconti's Death in Venice, so the Romantic Age will always be (for the lucky few who've had a chance to see it) Zulawski's La Note Bleue. The fact that the Bergman and Visconti films are world-famous, while Zulawski's has barely been heard of outside his small circle of diehard fans, should be enough to convince you (if you're not convinced already) that distribution of world cinema really has hit rock-bottom in the Age of Miramax. Trust me, La Note Bleue is an unqualified masterpiece! Having seen it once, I would happily sell my soul for a chance to see it again. The story itself is a familiar one. The exiled Polish composer Chopin (played by Janusz Olejniak, a real-life Polish pianist with no prior acting experience) is living with his mistress, the romantic novelist George Sand (Marie-France Pisier) in her idyllic country retreat at Nohant. After years of tempestuous on-and-off passion, Chopin still loves his lady, but his eye is turning more and more towards her provocative and nubile daughter (Sophie Marceau). How is their 'conflict' resolved? Well, it isn't, really - for the simple reason that nothing in life ever truly is. The turbulent trio entertain a houseful of illustrious guests. Among them are the writer Alexandre Dumas, fils (mourning the death of his real-life Lady of the Camellias) and the opera diva Pauline Viardot (trilling some sublime Bellini arias on the soundtrack). Sand's handsome but sinister son models puppet look-alikes of all the guests. Acrobats from a travelling circus float among the trees, like diaphanous orange phantoms. Each one of the performances is flawless. As George Sand, Marie-France Pisier is every inch the seductive but maddening 'monstre sacre' of so much literary myth. Sophie Marceau is irresistible as her daughter - half-Lolita, half-Lady Macbeth - the first stage of her evolution from Gallic teenage sexpot to mature actress. As for Olejniak, I can only believe he was an acting neophyte because Zulawski said so himself. In every word and gesture, every sublimely beautiful image of this film, you see the Romantic Era come to life. You sit in awe, nod your head dumbly, and think "Yes, it was really like this!" If it wasn't, History got it wrong.” Format : Matroska Format version : Version 2 File size : 1.44 GiB Duration : 2h 6mn Overall bit rate : 1 627 Kbps Encoded date : UTC 2012-07-18 16:20:48 Writing application : mkvmerge v4.6.0 ('Still Crazy After All These Years') built on Mar 10 2011 02:50:32 Writing library : libebml v1.2.0 + libmatroska v1.1.0 Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : [email protected] Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 4 frames Muxing mode : Header stripping Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Duration : 2h 6mn Bit rate : 1 274 Kbps Width : 700 pixels Height : 460 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:10 Original display aspect ratio : 16:10 Frame rate mode : Constant Frame rate : 25.000 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.158 Stream size : 1.12 GiB (78%) Writing library : x264 core 120 Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=1 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x1:0x111 / me=hex / subme=2 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=0 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=0 / 8x8dct=0 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=0 / threads=6 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=1 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=1 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=10 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=20.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=3 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00 Language : English Default : Yes Forced : No Color primaries : BT.601 NTSC Transfer characteristics : BT.709 Matrix coefficients : BT.601 Audio ID : 2 Format : AC-3 Format/Info : Audio Coding 3 Mode extension : CM (complete main) Format settings, Endianness : Big Muxing mode : Header stripping Codec ID : A_AC3 Duration : 2h 6mn Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 320 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Bit depth : 16 bits Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 289 MiB (20%) Default : Yes Forced : No Text ID : 3 Format : UTF-8 Codec ID : S_TEXT/UTF8 Codec ID/Info : UTF-8 Plain Text Default : Yes Forced : No
