Add a CommentAn informative, sympathetic, chronologically ordered, review of the life and musical works of Mozart; it accepts his genius but does not make him out to be a perfect superhuman, but as a fallible, often vulgar, mortal.
Good documentary about one of the greatest composers of all time.
Adequate writing, but very poor filming, with repetitive close-ups of windshield wipers, hairy fingers and backs of shirts when we could be viewing a performance, nice scenery or a lovely old castle.
