Review of Copying Beethoven (2006) by Susanw. — 15 Nov 2006
I LOVED IT ! ! ! Rarely, a movie comes along that is a work of art. I felt that way about Tous les Matins du Monde, and hadn't felt that way about any movie since. This one really enhanced my FEEL for Beethoven - for his art, and for his life.
It got across the notion well that there's a deeper substrate to Beethoven's music that transcends calculation and structure. I was rapt. I found at the end that I still had a full bag of popcorn - I'd forgotten all about it as soon as the movie started.
I especially loved two parts: the treatment of the Ninth, with the rapture and the excitement and the exhileration, and the explanation of the grosse fugue.
