I rented this movie a few weeks ago, and I just bought it recently. I love it, so, here's a review of it.
Immortal Beloved (1.6.95) *****
Gary Oldman
I absolutely adored this; it may be my new favorite movie. Gary Oldman, who was Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula (also a movie I love), plays Beethoven, and he does an amazing job.
Basically, the plot of the film is that Beethoven has just died, and in his will, he leaves everything he owns to his "Immortal Beloved." However, everybody thought he was just some lonely madman, so nobody knows who this is... So, Beethoven's secretary and friend, Schindler, takes it upon himself to find this woman. He goes around talking to people and learning all about Beethoven's past and his love life, and there are many flashbacks.
This movie was funny, sad, dramatic, and exciting, as well as romantic. The actors were all excellent, and the music was so beautiful, I want to get the soundtrack. It's rated R, though, because there is a very small amount of nudity, but there aren't really any sex scenes. I love this movie... So much so, that I'll give the trailer right here, just to try to convince you that it is worth watching.
