Immortal Beloved
It is those real events that recount the life and death of the famous composer Ludwig van Beethoven and his painful struggle with hearing loss. It is a realistic view of Beethoven's life and death by providing a real look at the work he is famous for. On the other hand, the composer once wrote a famous love letter to an unknown lover and the film tries to find out who this beloved was at the time that was surprising to everyone.

Imitation Ken Russell biopic lacking in power and a feel for the music.

Rose's Beethoven biopic is something of a Europudding, a stodgy concoction of clashing accents and performance styles.

Haunting use of Beethoven's music.

A little slow, but overall a good film.

Strains to evoke tortured artist agony, but instead just strains.

As writer and director, Bernard Rose must take full responsibility for the fictions masquerading as fact in his treatment of Beethoven's life and loves.

Passionate and transfixing scereen biography of Ludwig van Beethoven.

real coup is the perfect casting of consummate chameleon actor Gary Oldman as Beethoven.

I doubet whether Rose's speculative and overwroght chronicle of Beethoven will rekindle interest in the composer's life and work in the same way that Amadeus did for Mozart.
