IMMORTAL BELOVED A Film by Bernard Rose |
A Man of Genius ... Women of Passion ... The Mystery of a Lifetime ... The untold story of Ludwig van Beethoven. Gary Oldman, Jeroen Krabbé, Isabella Rossellini, Johanna Ter Steege and Valeria Golino star in IMMORTAL BELOVED, a mesmerising mystery based on the tumultuous real life of Ludwig van Beethoven. Oldman gives a tour de force performance as the passionate, volatile genius who inspired love and hatred in equal measure. Whether seducing regal followers, or criticising the ruling class, Beethoven made many enemies. But he also had one true love - the unnamed Immortal Beloved mentioned in an enigmatic letter discovered upon his death. The thrilling search for the identity of this mystery woman leads us into Beethoven's dark past, his hidden passions and, ultimately, into the unparalleled genius of his music. Sir Georg Solti was the music director for this film. |
