Editorial Reviews

This movie takes place during the premiere of Mozart's Die Zauberfloete (The Magic Flute). Not really depicting his entire life and loves, much of this is fictionalized scatology. Although not without basis in fact, Mozart has attained a somewhat colorful reputation and this is really just more of the same. The music is a joy, but the movie bogs down in titillation. Mozart's last days were lived in poverty and disgrace--stemming chiefly from his embracing of the Freemason stance, which was essentially a heresy in Austria and the rest of Europe at that time. None of this is depicted and even a satyr could not sustain the lifestyle Mozart has been portrayed as having here. Still, this is an interesting movie and worth a listen to.

4.0 out of 5 stars TRUE LOVE, May 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Life and Loves of Mozart (VHS Tape)

I truly loved this movie because it showed Mozart not only as a Genius but also as a human being who falls in love at the worst time of his life. He cared so much for his family, but his heart belonged to only one woman. Mozart sacraficed himself for his music, son, wife and true love. The scenes and music are so beautiful and touching to the heart. The quality of the film is good.
