Sapere A @RT77933623 08/03/2025 To have Freud in the house and yet produce a movie that is only superficially related to the deeper mind of Mahler is disappointing. Still, it is well acted, the scenarios are relatively interesting, and the music is divine. See more 07/05/2021 Cool, original, psycho-laden movie that resonates with musical hearts and romantic spirits. See more 12/17/2014 Disappointing film. It displays a simple caricature of Gustav Mahler and Sigmund Freud. The characters tend to be comical and superfluous. On the other hand, excellent photography, music and costumes.

Kind of the same style as that "Immortal Beloved" film. See more 03/13/2011 A beautiful movie, highlighting the very best of old and new film-making techniques as it tells one of the greatest stories I've ever seen at the cinema. See more 08/20/2010 Plus: really good acting, the personalities of Mahler and his wife Alma are portrayed very well, the historic plot is afaik quite accurate. Great scenery and obviously brilliant music. Minus: The actual development of Mahler's personality due to the situation is almost not existent. Freud seems like quite clumsy and insensitive for a psychologist, was he really like that? Or was Mahler just such a difficult person to deal with? I don't really believe either... The music however fits well to the plot, especially the excerpt of his 10th, his very final piece, which tells us more about his lesson from this story than most of the movie.
