~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **Sneak View
| Shortly after
Ludwig van Beethoven's death, a mysterious letter signed by the musical
genius appears: "What longings with tears for you...my life...my
everything...farewell then...Go on loving me, ever yours, ever mine,
forever, L.." These mysterious words prove the existence of one true
love for Beethoven in the midst of numerous affairs -- and never a
marriage -- with countesses. However, throughout history, Beethoven's
"Immortal Beloved" remains unknown until now, where with enough
evidence, Beethoven's "longing" is revealed, disclaiming all previous
theories and biographies about one of the greatest composers who ever
lived. |

| This sumptuous and moving 1994 film written and directed by Bernard Rose (Candyman)
investigates the artistic and romantic passions of one of the greatest
composers of all time. Featuring a superb performance by Gary Oldman (Sid and Nancy) as Ludwig van Beethoven, Immortal Beloved
is full of uncommonly vivid, rich imagery as it charts the tumultuous
life of the deaf child prodigy and his rise to the height of musical
achievement. Along the way, he attempts to play mentor to his nephew,
attend to his many passionate romances--the most stable one was with a
countess (Isabella Rossellini)--and fight bouts of depression and
madness that ruled his life and his art. The film is framed around a
"Rosebud"-type letter found after the composer's death that makes up
the crux of the story. Jeroen Krabbé (The Fugitive), playing
Beethoven's lifelong friend, attempts to discover who Beethoven's muse
really was, becoming as driven as his friend in discovering the
unlikely identity of the composer's "immortal beloved." Through this we
gain an insight into the nature of obsession, romance, and the heights
and sacrifices of artistic achievement. The film exhibits some
extraordinary sound design, and the finale features a magical
encapsulation of Beethoven's life and loves set to his "Ode to Joy." As
an exciting and passionate journey, Immortal Beloved is its own masterpiece. --Robert Lane |
