Movie Reviews of Immortal Beloved
Movie Review: Immortal Beloved Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie with an extraordinary cast illuminates the passion of Beethoven's
life with music and the agony of missing his one true love but not forsaking
others in his own way. This was captured by the film makers ultimately. I keep
it in my library and have watched it many times.
I highly recommend this movie.
Summary of Immortal Beloved
An enigmatic reference to his \immortal beloved" found in a letter upon the death of Beethoven begins the search for the identity of this mystery woman.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 13-FEB-2007
Media Type: DVD"""
This sumptuous and moving 1994 film written and directed by Bernard Rose (Candyman) investigates the artistic and romantic passions of one of the greatest composers of all time. Featuring a superb performance by Gary Oldman (Sid and Nancy) as Ludwig van Beethoven, Immortal Beloved is full of uncommonly vivid, rich imagery as it charts the tumultuous life of the deaf child prodigy and his rise to the height of musical achievement. Along the way, he attempts to play mentor to his nephew, attend to his many passionate romances--the most stable one was with a countess (Isabella Rossellini)--and fight bouts of depression and madness that ruled his life and his art. The film is framed around a "Rosebud"-type letter found after the composer's death that makes up the crux of the story. Jeroen Krabb? (The Fugitive), playing Beethoven's lifelong friend, attempts to discover who Beethoven's muse really was, becoming as driven as his friend in discovering the unlikely identity of the composer's "immortal beloved." Through this we gain an insight into the nature of obsession, romance, and the heights and sacrifices of artistic achievement. The film exhibits some extraordinary sound design, and the finale features a magical encapsulation of Beethoven's life and loves set to his "Ode to Joy." As an exciting and passionate journey, Immortal Beloved is its own masterpiece. --Robert Lane
