Handel's Last Chance is this intriguing TV drama that dives into the struggles of the great composer George Frideric Handel during a pivotal moment in his life. The film paints a vivid picture of his desperation as he tries to gather a choir to perform his ambitious work, The Messiah. The atmosphere feels quite heavy, with a sense of impending failure hanging over him, which is nicely contrasted by the unexpected encounter with a chicken-stealing boy.
