Synopsis:

From IMDb: “1779. Eight-year-old Ludwig van Beethoven, called “Louis”, is already known as a musical prodigy. He learns to go his own way – much to the dismay of the people around him. Some years later, he meets Mozart during times of political upheaval. The unconventional genius and French Revolution are sparking a fire in Louis’ heart; he doesn’t want to serve a master – only the arts. Facing times of family tragedies and unrequited love, he almost gives up. However, Louis makes it to Vienna to study under Haydn in 1792, and the rest is history. Who was this man, whose music has since touched countless hearts and minds? At the end of his life, the master is isolated by loss of loved ones and hearing. Surely though, he was way ahead of his times.”

Review: This period drama looks to be a biopic of the late Ludwig van Beethoven, but it never finds a path towards audience acceptance of the idea that this is a story we need or want to see. That’s a strange way to go about building an audience for your film. It’s the chaos of the editing that distracts, mostly.

Oscar Prospects:

It’s lavish enough to be a contender for Production Design and Costume Design, but it isn’t being pushed, so it won’t be nominated.
