Franz Schubert – Ein Leben in zwei Sätzen
Walter Kolm-Veltée
Heinrich Schweiger, Aglaja Schmid
Биографический фильм о великом австрийском композиторе Франце Шуберте (1797-1828). За свою жизнь он не нашел признания и добился успеха только благодаря исполнению одной из своих композиций незадолго до своей смерти - ему был тогда 31 год. Он умер через год после Людвига ван Бетховена, которым он восхищался. Вся его жизнь была одним великим мучением: болезнь, бедность и несчастная любовь. Терезе, которая также любила его, было категорически запрещено жениться на этом бедном человеке.

Красочный австрийский фильм о великом народном любимце, актёре Александре Жирарди. Когда его имя впервые появилось на театральных афишах, стиль сценического представления в Вене той поры был легким и непритязательным развлечением. Однако Жирарди искал более серьёзных художественных замыслов. Его актерская деятельность началась в то время, когда в Вене работали композиторы Франц фон Зуппе и Иоганн Штраус. Его жизненная судьба и художественные усилия позже увенчались всеобщим признанием, как в артистических кругах, так и обычной публики.

Mozart
Karl Hartl
Oskar Werner, Johanna Matz
This movie takes place during the premiere of Mozart's Die Zauberfloete (The Magic Flute). Not really depicting his entire life and loves, much of this is fictionalized scatology. Although not without basis in fact, Mozart has attained a somewhat colorful reputation and this is really just more of the same. The music is a joy, but the movie bogs down in titillation. Mozart's last days were lived in poverty and disgrace--stemming 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 satyr could not sustain the lifestyle Mozart has been portrayed as having here. Still, this is an interesting movie and worth a listen to.

Wien, du Stadt meiner Träume
Willi Forst
Adrian Hoven, Erika Remberg
In the made-up country of Alanien, King Alexander I has been overthrown while abroad. Now, he's in Vienna with his daughter, the city of his fondest memories since studying there as a boy. It doesn't take long for the charm of Vienna to work its magic on the former king: he quickly comes to terms with the new situation and is able to enjoy the Austrian capital sans all the ceremony and trappings which would otherwise accompany him on a state visit. The princess is content with preparing herself for a career as a pianist concert, while the former king takes a job as a chauffeur in the embassy of the country he once ruled. The revolutionaries are shocked; and his days in Vienna are numbered.
