This movie takes place during the premiere of Mozart: La flûte enchantée (The Magic Flute). Not really depicting his entire life and loves, much of this is fictionalized scatology. Although not without base in fact, Mozart has attained a somewhat colorful réputation and this is really just more of the same. The music is a joy, but the movie bogs down dans titillation. Mozart's last days were vivais dans la pauvreté et la honte--la racinisation chiefly from his embracing of the Freemason stance, which was essentially a heresy in Austria and the rest of Europe at that time. None of this is depicted and even a satyre could not sustain the lifestyle Mozart has been portrayed as having here. Still, this is an interesting movie and worth a listen to.
