Movie Reviews of Tchaikovsky
Movie Review: Not What I had Hoped For
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a big fan of Tchaikovsky so I looked forward to hearing and finding out more about him and his music. The structure of the film was well-done as we start with telling scenes from his youth and young adulthood. He was an innovator with his music and we are shown why. We seem to settle in on his career as an established composer of World reknown. His friends, his detractors, his love interests all weave in and out of the bulk of the film. For that aspect of "Tchaikovsky" the movie deserves a 4 Star rating. What bothered me about this film was an admittedly selfish perspective. I was missing "1812 Overture", "Marche Slav" as well as all but a brief movement from "Nutcracker Suite". I was glad to "discover" that he composed operas and a lot more music than I was aquainted with. But when the film ended without my musical expectations being met, I rated my disappointment more than my approval by giving it 3 Stars. I'd gladly reconsider but, three days later, I still disappointed.
