Wagner Movie
The epic journey of a musical genius, starring Richard Burton in the title role, in his penultimate film part. Made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his death in 1883, Wagner is a production of the life of the greatest of contemporary composers. Richard Wagner remains an enigma. His was a rags-to-riches story with a fairy tale end. He was loved yet hated, admired yet despised, a villain yet a hero, a man whose fame and exploits were the gossip of Europe. Above all, he was an incurable romantic whose love affair with Liszt's illegitimate daughter rivals that of Romeo and Juliet in excitement and drama. But he was also a dangerous political revolutionary whose influence penetrated the whole fabric of German society. He was a scoundrel, joker, philosopher, con-man, poet, refugee, a political orator, a legend in his own lifetime and one of the greatest composers who ever lived.
