Beethoven's Nephew (1985)
Adult concepts, Occasional sexual scenes
| Director: | Paul Morrissey |
| Actors: | Wolfgang Reichmann, Dietmar Prinz, Jane Birkin, Nathalie Baye, Mathieu Carriere |
In a rewrite of history, Morrissey shows Beethoven in his later years as a furious and demanding 'superstar' who, after winning a vicious court battle for the custody of his sister's son, becomes consumed with an insanely jealous love for the boy. With surprising control in its examination of the composer's obsession, the film elicits a deep sympathy for his torment without compromising the severity of his tyrannical grip on the boy's life. The homosexual desire of the muscial genius is palpable, yet never overt.
