Trivia
The voice-over narration by Satie (Nicholas Pennell) is mostly in the composer's own words, taken from his writings or as quoted by his friends.

Goofs
The voice-over includes Satie's famous quote, "All my life people have told me, 'Wait 'til you're fifty, you'll see'. I am fifty. I haven't seen a thing". The film takes place in 1910, when Satie was 44 and clearly before he made that remark.

A dance performance

Erik Satie, played by Nicholas Pennell, is sitting at his table, thinking of the only love affair of his life while Victoria Tennent and her dancing team does a great dance performance to Satie's piano works, interpreted by Reinbert de Leeuw.

This is a film for those interested in modern dance and the music of Erik Satie. It's not a documentary with real dialogs.
