Mozart's Sister

France

Nice period piece about...guess who? She had musical talent but her father, indeed the times would not allow a woman to pursue an independent career as a composer so she curbed her own needs, served those of her precocious brother and now has become a footnote.

Interesting look at the lives of the French aristocracy during the late 18th century. Also, a believable portrait of the child genius and his family life. Dad needed glory at any price...all other needs be damned. The film cleansed the palette after the execrable Amadeus.
