Immortal Beloved
Gary Oldman, Jeroen Krabbe, Isabella Rossellini and Valeria Golino star in Immortal Beloved, a mesmerizing mystery based on the tumultuous real life of Ludwig van Beethoven. Oldman gives a tour de force performance as the passionate, volatile genius who inspired love and hatred in equal measure. Whether seducing regal followers or criticizing the ruling class, Beethoven made many enemies. But he also had one true love - the unnamed "Immortal Beloved" mentioned in an enigmatic letter discovered upon his death. The thrilling search for the identity of this mystery woman leads us into Beethoven's dark past, his hidden passions and, ultimately, into the unparalleled genius of his music.

A narrative told in flashbacks to the women who played a part in Beethoven's life; the result is a standard and not particularly convincing portrait of the artist as a tortured genius.

Beethoven Immortal
This is a film that has 'stood the test of time' much like Beethoven himself. Strong cast, good use of flash-back, the focus on Beethoven's turmoil ... read more »

Copying Beethoven
- 13 Aug 2007
With few exceptions, films about the great composers have been a rum bunch. Grieg got the egregious Song of Norway.

And of course, Tom Hulce played Mozart as a braying adolescent in Amadeus. Stern, deaf old Beethoven has mostly been given a wide berth by filmmakers,... Read more
