Just seen Rene Feret's new film about W A Mozart's sister Nannerl. Very atmospheric account of the Mozart children's first French tour. The film is beautifully shot with subtle use of candlelit scenes and shows the difficult conditions of the Mozarts' life as an itinerant traveling musical family.
Excellent portrayal of Leopold Mozart as the ultimate pushy parent and the hard reality of court appearances. As the title suggest, the film focuses not on Wolfgang but rather on his equally talented sister at the time both of them were being shown around European courts as astonishingly gifted child prodigies.
The film has an originally and cleverly composed pastiche score and an excellent and engaging pace.
It's quite reassuring to see a French film very much in the style of the genre in the 70s: full of atmosphere and long pensive looks!
