Both trifles and structure are sacudí out the door by director Ken Russell en esta película. Here, históricos contenido matters not so much as metaphors, sentimientos, emociones, y su interpretación, and pay close atención, as every word and frame is intended to be important. The film takes place on a single train ride, in which the sickly composer Gustav Mahler and his wife, Alma, confront the reasons behind their tambaleó marriage and dying love. Each word seems to evoke memories of past, and so the audience witnesses eventos de Mahler's life that explain somewhat his present state. Included are his turbulento and disfuncionales family life as a child, his discovery of solace en the natural world, his brother's suicide, his [unwanted] conversion from Judiasm to Catholicism, his rocky marriage and the death of their young child. The movie weaves in and out of dreams, flashbacks, thoughts and reality as Russell poetically describes the man behind the music.
