Lambert Wilson to Star as King Louis Philippe in ‘Chopin, Chopin!’: ‘I Live With His Music’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Lambert Wilson will star in Michał Kwieciński’s ‘Chopin, Chopin!’ as King Louis Philippe alongside Eryk Kulm as the Polish composer.
“It alternates between lavish court scenes, where French King Louis Philippe [played by Lambert] will appear both flippant and distressed, and intimate moments, showing the solitude of this artist and his eventual descent into illness and death,” the actor adds. Produced by Warsaw-based Akson Studio — behind Andrzej Wajda’s Oscar-nominated “Katyń” and “Warsaw 44” — and co-produced by Polish Television, the film will be an intimate psychological drama with a “very rich, almost baroque setting.” “There’s a cholera epidemic, balls of the nouveau riche, parties at the king’s house, countless social events, concerts, travel, sex, shopaholism and passion for violets,” noted Kwieciński, listing Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Venice premiere “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance” and “The Worst Person in the World” as his references.
