“If you are going to make a film about Beethoven, I think this might be as good as it can get. Of course, there are parts of it that would be fair to criticize. For example, the portrayal of the 20-year-old Beethoven is not really satisfactory. The great value in the film, though, is the high production value and that it has been made by people that seem to be inherently interested in the human spirit of Beethoven, rather than on historical facts about his life, or inferring ideas about his spirit from his work. Of course, one can argue the work of an artist functions as a representation of his or her personality. In my opinion, though, a portrayal such as the one this film makes is just as interesting. Anyway, the film was certainly entertaining and rich in ideas, thus a must-watch for anyone who is interested in Beethoven.”
