Don't just watch this movie, LISTEN to it as well

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2001)

Despite excellent filming, spectacular acting by Murray Abraham, the credits do not acknowledge the greatest actor of this movie in the "Cast" section. It is actually in the title and in the score. This movie is not about a man's life, it is about his music. The music leaps at you, absorbs you, transforms you. That this happens in a movie makes the experience a lot different than attending a concert. The music LIVES in this movie. It is not even a movie, it is an experience. Live it.
