Slow. Kids who like music liked this best. "Enjoyed learning about Beethoven and how he became a great musician, and that was neat." "It seemed real." " Beethoven was a different, newer kind of composer." Inspiring to anyone with a handicap.
Comprehensive, informative, well paced. Doesn't have much action or scene changes. Basically a one man show. Provides a musical tour through history. The narrator's monologues interweave nicely with piano excerpts. Most suitable for educational use.
A biography of Beethoven featuring his most famous works and his struggles with hearing loss, an exploitive father and the limiting role of musicians in France. His story stresses overcoming adversity and believing in oneself. Starring Dennis Kobray.
You too can become a film critic!
