Paris, the Roaring Twenties. Iconoclastic and acclaimed Russian choreographer Ida Rubinstein chooses Maurice Ravel to compose the music for her next ballet. She wants something bold, something sensual. Well-known and established, Ravel nonetheless finds himself unable to write anything. Reliving his life’s memories, facing his old loves and personal failures, the composer will eventually give birth to his greatest composition ever, ‘Bolero.’ Bolero is a sumptuous biographical drama of the troubled composer of one of the most famous pieces of music ever written. “Some impressionistic structuring, and a calmly charismatic performance from Raphaël Personnaz, elevate Anne Fontaine's absorbing biopic of Maurice Ravel.” Jessica Kiang, Variety.
