Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Kirpianuscus the beauty of costumes and music. the touching story of a great and obscure sacrifice. Marie Feret as lovely Nannerl. and Wolfgang as secondary character. important is not the historical accuracy or the legend's proportion. but the atmosphere. it is only a film about a little known biography , well made, nice to beautiful, recreation of a myth in new therms, seductive for the details and for the new perspective about a well known subject. a film about art and about a life in shadow. a film about success and about the truth. proposing a new hero. special for be not usual drawing portrait of an admirable woman. that could be all. or just the beginning for the viewer who rediscover the Mozart family in different light.

richard-1787 This could have been a much better movie than it turned out to be. The premise is obvious from almost the very beginning: Mozart's sister Nannerl had talent as a musician and composer, but it was put under a barrel by her domineering father, who chose to devote all his energies to promoting the career of her younger brother, the unquestioned genius WA Mozart. Boring because obvious - unless something interesting had been done with it.And that is the problem with this movie. Nothing was ever really interesting. The characters were almost all shy and retiring. That may be realistic, but it doesn't make for an interesting movie. Remember the very strong characters created in Amadeus, and contrast them with 1) Nannerl Mozart, 2) Mozart and Nannerl's mother, 3) the daughter of Louis XIV who befriends Nannerl, 4) Louis XV, etc. They were all of the shy, retiring type. That doesn't make for a dynamic movie.There are never any great dramatic scenes between Nannerl and her father where she complains about the attention lavished only on her younger brother. Indeed, there is precious little real drama here. Just a lot of shy, unhappy characters caught in their shyness. It's hard to get involved with that.There was nothing wrong with the acting, and everything wrong with the script. It should have been thrown out and replaced with one that created interesting, dynamic characters that made Nannerl's (perhaps) unfair treatment come alive and engage the audience. That didn't happen.The costumes and sets are nice. But if the sound were turned off, you'd miss nothing of interest.

aheilbrun I was unable to find any information about Marie Féret, the lead actress. However, she seemed to be in her mid to late twenties, not an adolescent girl. This greatly distracted from the credibility of the film. This is not to discount her abilities as an actress but rather to question the judgment of the casting director. The role of Wolfgang, however was very believable, down to the coordination of his violin fingering with the actual music - something often neglected in movies.Another substantial irritant is the music throughout the film. For the most part it seemed to me as not 1760's. While non-contemporaneous music does not greatly impair Hollywood historical potboilers, in the case of this film which tries to re-imagine the psychological subtleties of talented musicians, not only the costumes and decor should strive for authenticity, but the music even more so. However, to be fair to the producer, perhaps I was simply unfamiliar with what were actually authentic pieces.

WakenPayne The title explains all the things wrong with it I'll explain all of them in more specific detail First off this film ends in complete mid-air, this is not somebody asking for a "Happy Ending" like in so many of our movies today. The movie doesn't end happily like in American movies today nor does it have a sad ending and tie up all the loose ends (the one movie that immediately comes to mind is that German Nosferatu remake).Second off The fact that Mozart fanatics will enjoy might make people say "what the hell? Isn't that what Mozart movies target audience is?" well, no the true signs of a good adaptation or any other style movie documenting almost true events is if the people behind it can turn audiences who don't know that much about it into fans.Finally the Too long for it's own benefit, The movie has a refusal to be interesting in places and that made the movie seem much longer than it actually was and that made it seem too long for it's own benefit.The plot to sound basic is that on a tour arranged by Leopold Mozart to show off his son's talent to royalty, eventually Nannerl falls in love with The Dauphin Of France, only problem is he's getting married. After some irrelevant scenes finally the wife says she loves him and he pretty much tells Nannerl to leave and never come back.I have an Achronism I feel as if I should point out in this movie. Nannerl Mozart was born in 1751, Wolfgang in 1756. The movie is set in 1763 and throughout they say Nannerl is 15 Mozart is 10, in order to be correct this movie should be set in 1766.I think that Amadeus would be a better film to watch than this.
