The Beethoven Files

51MIN

Beethoven’s work is legendary and yet little is known about the conditions under which he actually composed his music. One thing is certain: most of his masterpieces came after the onset of his deafness. This elaborately staged docudrama takes viewers into the lives of the young composer and his "Immortal Beloved," while exploring his struggles with the creative process and the onset of disease.
