Wonderful ... Brilliant ... Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 1999)

This film is truly a work of art. The interweaved plot of actual history and fiction spun into a masterpeice! You need not be knowledgeable of classical music to enjoy this film, but must be able to tolerate it, as the music underscores the entire film.
Stunning performances given by F. Murry Abraham and Thomas Hulce deliver, in my eyes, one of the 10 best films of all time!
