Un Grand Amour De Beethoven
France's master of the silent epic and international cinema Iegend Abel Gance is most ceIebrated for this sweeping and pioneering biography masterpiece NapoIeonand his anti-war classic J'accuse. But this touching and tortured document of the legendary Beethoven's creative genius deserves equal tribute and attention.
Like Napoleon, Beethoven is Gance's portrait of a great mind, a giant of history, here crafted as a Romantic vision of the artist. The fiIm chronicles the years of Beethoven's greatest successes and his struggIes against overwhelming adversity -- poverty, the onset of deafness and his unrequited passion for his "lmmortaI Beloved."
Writer/director Gance conducts a symphony of images set to an Expressionistic score, depicting not onIy the events but the spirit of the composer's Iife. The sequence where the affIicted maestro first recognizes his deafness if one of the most brilIiant and visuaIIy daring in film history. Hail as one of the greatest character actors of his generation, French screen great Harry Baur is masterful in his touchingIy human portrayal of the tortured composer. |
