On Tuesday, 9 September, the city of Bocholt will present the elegantly beguiling biopic about the creation of the monumental orchestral piece "Bolero" as part of the "The Special Film" series.
Paris 1928: The composer Maurice Ravel is commissioned by the eccentric dancer Ida Rubinstein to compose the music for her next ballet. She wanted a sensual and beguiling piece. At first, Ravel did not feel able to put anything down on paper. He searches for inspiration in everyday life and delves deep into himself to deal with the failures of his early years, the effects of the First World War and his unrequited love for his muse Misia Sert. A seemingly random idea forms the basis for his greatest success, a fascinating and unique work that will bring him worldwide fame. The Bolero.
The film lasts 121 minutes. The film was directed by Anne Fontaine.
