Synopsis: 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,... 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.

I doubet whether Rose's speculative chronicle of the genius Beethoven will rekindle interest in the composer's life and work in the same way that Amadeus did for Mozart; the music, though, is nicely recorded by George Solti and London Symphony Orchestra

I just did not buy Oldman as Beethoven. I thought he was miscast, and he certainly overacted.

A little slow, but overall a good film.

As writer and director, Bernard Rose must take full responsibility for the fictions masquerading as fact in his treatment of Beethoven's life and loves.
