Movie Reviews of Tchaikovsky
Movie Review: Bravo
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent film. Beautifully photographed. Russia as I imagined it at that period in history Very well acted.Movie Review: They Don't Make 'em Like This Anymore!
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is closely linked to what must have a passionate, personal crusade for Dimitri Tiomkin. The film is well crafted and is best watched in Russian with English sub-titles. It was shot in Russia. The dubbed English version is irritating. The flim concentrates on the curious relationship of Tchaikovsky and his rich patron Madame von Meck - they never met. Locations and interiors are superb with some great performances by the large supporting cast. What is missing, of course, is the question of the sexuality of Tchaikovsky but the period detail is fascinating and genuine. There is little for the sensation seeker but a great deal for those interested in Tchaikovsky, 19th century Russia, and, indeed, for Hollywood movie music buffs interested in the great Dimitri Tiomkin. A most interesting contrast to Ken Russell's overheated The Music LoversMovie Review: the movie is nice but runing time is too long

I am a musician so i always buy from amazon the composer history DVD,i can`t believe act tchaikovsky that guy also is a famouse russian composer Dimitri Tiomkin,he is a famouse pianist and composer he born in 1894 died in 1979,in the movie they speak in russian but they have english subtitle,and this movie is very good for who like classical music and studying classical music,and the movie is very long and you will getting a bit boring went you watch this movie but it was a true story of tchaikovsky whole life,if you are a musician you must buy it!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.Movie Review: Interesting

Interesting, of course the music is great, photography i good, but dramatisation is lousy.
