Production
[edit]Development
[edit]Director Michał Kwieciński had previously worked with Eryk Kulm on his 2022 film, Filip. When Kulm expressed that Frédéric Chopin was his dream role, Kwieciński began researching the composer.[1][2] He was inspired by the Norwegian film The Worst Person in the World in deciding to present Chopin's life in distinct vignettes.[3] The film was announced in March 2024.[4]
Casting
[edit]Eryk Kulm joined the cast in June 2024.[5] To prepare for the role, he read two extensive biographies about Chopin.[1] He also spent three months learning piano pieces by Chopin to play in the film.[6] Pianist Janusz Olejniczak oversaw Kulm's musical preparations.[2] Lambert Wilson was announced as a cast member on 29 August 2024.[7]
Filming
[edit]Principal photography began in Poland in August 2024.[8] In late August and early September, filming took place in Roztoka, Żelazno, Lubiąż, and Żagań.[9][10] From 21 September to 25 September 2024, filming took place in Łódź, including Izrael Poznański Palace.[11][12] Filming later moved to Bordeaux on 7 October 2024.[13][14] Filming is planned for Szczawno-Zdrój and Wrocław in December 2024.[9]
