Half way through this film I started considering it as a student film that had some decent financial backing. The main lead who played Nannerl had little in the way of facial expressions and often stood around like she had been directed to stand around. Watch Mozart's Sister Movie Online
The actor who played Leopold Mozart, however, was mostly effective in his portrayal of a man who believed in what he was doing, and believed it to be the best for his son and his family. The dialogue (as it was translated) was mostly without much flare, and the music score seemed to fill in the emotional gaps that neither the dialogue nor the acting was putting across.
Direction fell flat most of the time with simple side-profile shots. The script itself seemed to give no indication as to where the film itself was going, as though the writer had determined that the basics of Nannerl's life was already known, so all they had to do was write some scenes around that - for me, this script just did not work. The idea that Nannerl was being eclipsed by her brother, though it was present throughout, never felt like a driving force that pushed the film forward and was a constant influence that determined Nannerl's emotions and feelings. As a result, every time a climax (with accompanying string motifs) arrived on screen, the film felt like it was preparing itself to end... and then would go on.
This isn't the worst film I've seen, and it wasn't joyless to the point of leaving the cinema; it was just simply quite boring, and non-involving for the viewer (me). I wanted it to end during several climactic moments but it didn't. Definitely far too long at 2 hours.
The story was complex on so many levels: the wonderful family relationship of the Mozarts as they travelled around Europe. The strong feminine influences; the strictures of society that allow the older sister's intellect to waste away; the daughters of the king who were locked away in isolation.
The costumes were authentic without being overly lush.The relationship between the young Wolfgang and his older sister was quite touching.The growth of the lead actress from barely a to a woman accepting her fate was written (all within a year or so) and acted very well.There was an interesting subplot with the king's daughter that showed the two girls/women accepting the same fate albeit at different levels of society.
Are-imagined account of the early life of Maria Anna 'Nannerl' Mozart (Marie Féret), five years older than Wolfgang (David Moreau) and a musical prodigy in her own right. Beginning in 1763, it follows the Mozart family's exhausting life on the road, traveling by coach from one royal court to the next, where the nobility marvel at young Wolfgang's prodigious talent. But accomplished singer, harpsichordist, violinist Nannerl, Wolfgang's elder by five years, first held forth as the family's infant prodigy. Watch Mozart's Sister Movie Online
At the film begins, she is still performing, though overshadowed and sidelined as by Wolfgang's growing fame. Her father bows to social strictures "for her own good," refusing to let her continue with the violin or compose, while privately conceding Nannerl's talent to his wife. No longer a precocious tot, Nannerl chafes at the limitations imposed by her gender and frets about her prospects.
