France's master of the silent epic and international cinema legend Abel Gance is most celebrated for this sweeping and pioneering biography masterpiece Napoleonand 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 film chronicles the years of Beethoven's greatest successes and his struggles against overwhelming adversity -- poverty, the onset of deafness and his unrequited passion for his "Immortal Beloved."
