10/10
Rate an 11 ! One of the best of the 90ies.
24 July 2000
This beautiful set movie shows the interesting and problematic situation of (musical) artists in Germany and later on of most European states between the world wars. Best actors (Heino Ferch, Ben Becker, Kai Wiesinger and premiere of Ulrich Noethen) guarantee fun between the songs. The actresses (Katja Riemann, Meret Becker (sister of Ben, here lover) and Dana Vavrova (director's wife)) could show more of their capabilitis if the movie would have been longer. The True history makes it very interesting and the director Joseph Vilsmaier is on same level as the other germans: W. Petersen and R. Emmerich.

The music cannot be better: It is the original (technically repaired).
