...I loved this film. It is a gripping drama about the life and works of Mozart. If you are a Mozartfan then you will love this film. It is a great celebration of the talented composers music. Set in 1781 it follows the life of the composor from childhood to his death.
A memorable soundtrack accompanies the film throughout and the acting quality is superb

The DVD release is a little thin on 'extras' but it does have a Music-Only option so you can enjoy the compositions of this great man without the need to watch the film....
