Opulent and a feast for the eye. Captures some, but not all, of the
turbulence of the moment and the intensity of the partisanship, and some,
but not all, of the power of the music. Worth the time, at least. But best
taken the way any bioflick is taken - as a fantasia on the theme of its
main character.
