Every Gary Oldman Movie Ranked Worst To Best
After famous composer Ludwig van Beethoven (Gary Oldman) passes away, his friend Anton Felix Schindler (Jeroen Krabbé) searches for the beneficiary of Beethoven’s estate, since it has only been bequeathed to his “immortal beloved.” The potential candidates include a former student, Giulietta Giucciardi (Valeria Golino), a former lover, Anna-Marie Erdödy (Isabella Rossellini), and his brother’s widow, Johanna Reiss (Johanna ter Steege).
1994’s historical biography “Immortal Beloved” is also a romantic mystery. Though the film posits a solution to the identity of Beethoven’s beloved, the actual answer is still unknown to this day, and the debate continues to this day. The film itself also caused debate among critics, as some disliked the slow pace and the fabrications, whereas others loved Oldman’s performance of a musical maestro struggling with the loss of his hearing while continuing to write beautiful music.
See if you can solve the mystery of “Immortal Beloved” — and if you can’t, at least you can enjoy the music.
