Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog This film tries to be a musical drama as well as a murder mystery thriller, but the latter is so undercooked given the lack of suspense. Still I'd recommend it if you're a fan of Mozart's music and period drama films. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 19, 2021 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf Interlude in Prague is at best a chance to hear some lovely music by Mozart but, for a film about the genesis of Don Giovanni, it could do with more of it. Rated: 2/5 Nov 3, 2018 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz [Aneurin Barnard] is a likeable enough Mozart, one a little more world-weary than that portrayed by Tom Hulce in Amadeus. Rated: 3/5 Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Rich Cline Contactmusic.com Its tone veers wildly in operatic fashion from cute comedy to lusty romance to very dark violence. But the actors are terrific, and the film catches a clever sense of both the history and the music. Rated: 3/5 Jun 9, 2017 Full Review Henry Fitzherbert Daily Express (UK) The costumes are gorgeous, it's nicely shot and the operatic scenes are beautifully staged. The only bum note is the romance. Rated: 3/5 May 30, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The movie is excellent. It's loosely based on Mozart's life from 1786-1788 but not intended to be a historical account. The music and costumes are stunningly beautiful. Most important, it gives the listener insight into two of Mozart's most important operas, "Marriage of Figaro" and "Don Giovanni". Our small group loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Una de las mejores películas de romance con un toque de violencia y drama, vale la pena verla. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie beautiful Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/20 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely moving film! Being a musician you can really understand every bit and the emotion going into it. Aneurin is absolutely phenomenal actor and really recreates Mozart well! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This sumptuously filmed, fictional account of the gestation of Mozart's opera of Don Giovanni has a few grains of truth but the majority of the plot is fictitious. Not that this necessarily makes for a poor movie but for me, it did rather get in the way and simplify the inspiration behind the masterpiece and the creative processes that forged it. If you are hoping for a history lesson, move on, if however, you are looking for a passable costume drama, then Interlude in Prague may just fit the bill. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is for the most part, a well-acted, overly dramatic, and untrue part of history that was interesting enough to make me care about it, but I definitely understand why it was only shown at select theatres. My main problem is the unbelievable drama of the film. It sometimes makes the acting seem terrible, and often times the editing makes this even worse. Besides that, I do think it is well-written and well-acted, but it is also very untrue to history. There never was a Zuzana Luptakova and when you find that out, it kind of ruins the magic that the film is true to what happened as it labels itself as a documentary. One more thing really bugged me about this movie. I myself am an opera singer and currently I am in a production of The Magic Flute (an opera by Mozart). And though the operatic scenes are well shot, the way the singers sing the opera is very synthetic, autotuned, and very untrue to the very personal, real, and natural way opera is sung. Anyways, I'd give this film a pass unless Mozart is really your thing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
