DVRK P 03/11/2024 Excellent story telling. very good use of fast forwards, letting us just know what we need to know from the past in order to understand what we are experiencing from the current times that are shown, but yet keeping alive the intrigue that gets disguises with the many relevant events that are happening through the Broschi brothers, but doesn't keep us from wondering about the real origin from this story that won't be revealed to us until we are very submerged into the film. The pursue of excellence takes out the most gruesome and raw decisions from all the characters on Farinelli. It is compelling how none of the characters, or the plot itself, gets spoiled with power/money aspects as it could be expected from such situation. But instead, all of them share an inexorable search for excellence within music. Very nice movie.

See more 09/14/2016 Un film che romanza fin troppo la vita dell'artista e che alla fine lascia ben poco allo spettatore. See more 07/23/2015 I know the movie isn't based on true history of Farinelli because little is known for that period, but i liked the end of the movie, in which Farinelli is fulfilled in love despite his cruel fate . See more 07/13/2015 Looks good but feels somehow empty, disjointed, and hard to be invested in. See more 02/13/2014 Farinelli, gives an idea of how it was the art of the period and the suffering of a Castrati such as Farinelli despite having apparently everything. The big flaw it suffers it's that drama and modernism exaggerate and breaks what happened in reality, but otherwise, is a well done film about the considered greatest castrati of all time.
