Review of Immortal Beloved (1994) by Matthew T — 29 Dec 2017
One of the greatest films of all times. Gary Oldman gives the performance for the ages as the passionate, difficult and troubled composer Ludwig Van Beethoven. In every way this film is a counterpart to the equally brilliant Amadeus.
The cinematography is breathtaking, the music (arranged by Georg Solti) is a brilliant compilation of Beethoven's work that matches up with every scene in the film. The story is a brilliant dramatization of the composer's romantic life centered around his music and boldly attempts to answer one of history's great romantic mysteries: Who was the composer's "immortal beloved" who he left all his possessions and music too after his death?
