Gary Oldman plays a moody yet intense Ludwig van Beethoven in this Biographical-romance with a mystery at its heart. The film begins after Beethoven’s death with the discovery of a love letter to the unnamed “Immortal Beloved.” In an attempt to identify the Beloved, Beethoven’s friend (played by Jeroen Krabbé) visits the women who knew him. With each visit, the film jumps back to a different, and progressively later, period in Beethoven’s life. The more emotional of these flashbacks are given weight by the accompaniment of a recognizable, yet carefully chosen, selection of Beethoven’s music. The powerful conclusion features a visual medley of Beethoven’s memories set to his masterpiece “Odo to Joy.”
