Chevalier, a highly awaited movie from Searchlight Pictures, now has a new release date. The historical drama movie, whose premiere was initially scheduled for April 7, 2023, will now be available only in theatres on April 21, 2023.

A biographical drama based on the life of exceptional violinist and composer Joseph Bologne, a French-Caribbean musician sometimes referred to as the “Black Mozart,” the movie is close to two hours long. In the movie, a significant historical individual who defied racial expectations and became one of the greatest musical prodigies of the time is highlighted. The protagonist of the novel, Bologne, was the illegitimate child of an African slave and a French plantation owner. Before embarking on an unfortunate love affair, Bologne achieves greatness in French society as a composer. The renowned violinist-composer and fencer finally fell out with Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France, and her court. The movie concentrates on both a compelling historical account of classical music as well as the drama.

His struggle as a mixed-race kid prodigy who followed him throughout his professional career is depicted in the story. The drama depicts a mid-1700s man who was regarded to be ahead of his time and who endured unending prejudice and abuse before becoming one of the best musicians in the world and being considered for one of the most prestigious jobs as the conductor of the Paris opera. The identity of Chevalier and the ways in which he altered the world will be explained to the audience.

“Chevalier” Has a Strong Cast

The upcoming movie stars Lucy Boyton as Marie Antoinette, Marton Csokas as Montalembert, Samara Weaving as Marie-Josephine, Minnie Driver as La Guimard, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as the master pianist Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Ronke Adekoluejo, Sian Clifford, Alex Fitzalan, and Alec Newman are also featured in the cast. At the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, the biographical movie made its debut to enthusiastic reviews. The reason Searchlight Pictures postponed the movie’s theatrical debut is yet unknown.

With music created by Kris Bowers and lyrics penned by Atlanta and What We Do in the Shadows executive producer Stefani Robinson, Chevalier was directed by Primetime Emmy Award winner Stephen Williams. Element Pictures produced the movie, and Searchlight Pictures handled distribution.
