About The Strange Case of Delfina Potocka
In 1945, the new Polish government asked for the heart of Chopin previously buried in Paris. A woman called Paulina Czernika approached the government claiming to have some love letters from the composer to her great-grandmother, the Countess Delfina Potocka.
Directed by Tony Palmer, The Strange Case of Delfina Potocka leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Rhys, Penelope Wilton, John Shrapnel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1999.
