Review of Immortal Beloved (1994) by Alberto G — 08 Oct 2013
Very interesting (and surprisingly accurate) telling of some elements in Beethoven life. Even if the theory by Bernard Rose (director of cult fave Candyman nevertheless) of who was the immortal beloved in a letter found after his death, is not supported by a single scholar, this is a fine piece of storytelling.
The editing was a bit choppy and it was not as elegantly striking as it could have been, but the acting by Gary Oldman made the difference. It is sad, romantic, powerful and inspiring all at the same time.
Wanted to watch this the moment it came out but got lost in the shuffle. Well worth the wait.
