The film Chevalier is a much-needed exploration into the life of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Bologne was a prodigious fencer, violinist, and composer, and rose in the court of Marie Antoinette after being born to a 16-year-old enslaved woman and taken to France. Bologne’s story is an incredible one, but after an attempt by none other than Napoleon Bonaparte to destroy the Chevalier’s work, much of it has been lost to history. Writer Stefani Robinson aims to change this with Chevalier, which tells the story of one of many pivotal times in Joseph Bologne’s life.
