The muses are smiling...

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2002)

Brilliant. Biography, fantasy, history, entertainment, humour, romance, deceit, horror, lechery, nobility, and on and on - and of course, the MUSIC!
A timeless film that should stand at the pinnacle of the potential of the medium. Even if your closest approach to "classical music" is the violins in Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb", or your interest in history dates back to only 5 minutes ago, this film is worth your time, effort and attention.

Enough said!
