A speculative account of Maria Anna "Nannerl"
Mozart, she is five years older than her brother Wolfgang. They are
both musical prodigies but her brother has surpassed her as the featured
performer. This is due to the fact that he is male and seen as more
desirable than a female in the French culture. Their strict but loving
father Leopold tours his talented offspring in front of the royal courts
of France in Europe prior to the revolution. Maria has been forbidden
to play the violin or compose, she chafes at these limitations on her
talents because of her gender and not because of her lack of abilities.
If
you have trouble with insomnia, this movie will really help, I could
barely stay awake and I fell asleep quickly when I went to bed!! It
just meanders along with not very much happening and the culture
differences in France at this time in history are difficult to follow.
3* (This movie is OK)
