It is very hard to conduct a love affair with Chopin when there is not a movie about him staring Robert Downey, Jr. Very hard indeed.
Alas, will there ever be a good movie about Chopin? Answer: probably not.
More importantly, how is there NOT already a movie a la Amadeus for Liszt??? This crazy genius man drove women to frenzy, caused them to rip the garters from their dainty legs to throw at him a whole century before women would think to do the equivalent at rock concerts. And the affairs! He led a fascinating life, damn it. Now, where is the movie? All right, I admit that RDJ would be a horrible choice to play Chopin, but he would make a phenomenal Liszt.
