Der Komödiant von Wien

Karl Paryla, Christl Mardayn
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.
