"The most unusual and enchanting musical in years" (Roger Ebert, this cinematic ode to legendary composer Cole Porter is at once buoyantly fun and "heartbreakingly beautiful" (Liz Smith. Oscar Winner Kevin Kline (The Ice Storm) is "perfection" (Rolling Stone) as the elegant and deeply complex Porter in a film that offers "knockout performances" (Gene Shalit) from Natalie Cole, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Diana Krall, Alanis Morissette and Robbie Williams, and "melancholy, wit and style to burn" (The Philadelphia Inquirer)!

From Paris to Venice to Broadway to Hollywood, the lives of Cole (Kline) and Linda (Ashley Judd) Porter were never less than glamorous and wildly unconventional. And though Cole`s thirst for life strained their marriage, Linda never stopped being his muse, inspiring some of the greatest sons of the twentieth century.

Un portrait musical du compositeur américain Cole Porter, émaillé d`une multitude de ses inoubliables chansons. Ce dernier se représente son passé à la manière d`un de ses grands spectacles musicaux, en faisant défiler sur la scène de sa mémoire les personnages et événements qui l`ont marqué.
A travers des succès légendaires comme Night and Day, It`s De-Lovely et In the Still of the Night, s`éclaire la vie profuse, excessive et sophistiquée de Porter - notamment les relations complexes qu`il entretint avec son épouse et muse Linda Lee Porter.
