Lambert Wilson will play King Louis Philippe in Michał Kwieciński's upcoming drama “Chopin, Chopin!” about composer Frédéric Chopin.

"I've always adored Chopin," Wilson told Variety. "I live with his music and the music of Liszt, and I've always been fascinated by the Romantic era in Europe. Particularly in France, with this connection between writers and musicians [that revolves] around the character of George Sand."

According to Lambert, the film's script — written by Bartosz Janiszewski — offers a "precise and very moving" vision of the last part of the composer's life. Chopin died in 1849.

“It alternates between sumptuous court scenes, in which the French king Louis Philippe [played by Lambert] appears both lighthearted and in distress, and intimate moments, which show the loneliness of this artist and his eventual descent into illness and death,” the actor adds.
