Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This thrilling, speculative story about the mystery woman whom Ludwig van Beethoven once identified in a letter as his "immortal beloved" is directed by Bernard Rose (Paperhouse). Gary Oldman plays the deaf genius with tragic brutality in a series of flashbacks that arise during a connect-the-dots investigation by Beethoven's secretary (Jeroen Krabbé), who is looking into the composer's love affairs to ascertain who held the key to his heart. Rose arrives at a moving if imperfect portrait of a complicated artist, and he pays gorgeous tribute to Beethoven's stolen innocence in childhood. (You may never hear the Ninth Symphony again without thinking of Rose's beautiful image of young Ludwig immersed in cosmic rapture.) Produced by Mel Gibson's company, Icon. --Tom Keogh

This movie with an extraordinary cast illuminates the passion of Beethoven's
life with music and the agony of missing his one true love but not forsaking
others in his own way. This was captured by the film makers ultimately. I keep
it in my library and have watched it many times.
I highly recommend this movie.

A lot of people love this movie, for me is very good and well acted but I find other movies on the theme better, like Copying Beethoven, is a matter of opinion. Gary Oldman rocks as the man, one of his finest performances. and the overall story is good but a little to fanciful to my taste. Is a respecful portrayal of the master and his times.

The year is 1827, and famed composer Ludwig van Beethoven has just died. He leaves his estate to someone only known as his "Immortal Beloved," so his secretary goes about finding out who she may be among his many lovers.
This movie is absolutely beautiful. Beethoven's music, of course, is the soundtrack and also the main plot point, as the writer/director speculates on the events in the maestro's life that inspired each piece. The movie goes back and forth in time to each of the important ... Read More

Immortal Beloved itself is a wonderful film. It is unfortunate that it gets less acclaim than 'Amadeus.' Gary Oldman is fantastic in most films he acts, and this film is no different.
Other reviewers have focused quite well on the film itself, so for the purposes of this review, I'd like to focus a more on the blu-ray video/audio quality for this film.

This movie was an unfortunate commercial flop (made only $9.8m), but it ranks with Amadeus as one of the greatest classical music related movies of all time.
Certainly, I have yet to see any movie as good related to Beethoven.
It is very obvious the creators lovingly devoted much of their effort and time in crafting a highly coherent and interwoven biography of one of music's greats. Such devotion, I believe, was motived by the creators' love of Beethoven and his music. Indeed, it ... Read More
