Beethoven - Days in a Life is a drama, history, and music film released in Germany on October 14, 1976. The film has a runtime of one hour and forty-eight minutes. Set in Vienna between 1813 and 1819, the story depicts Beethoven at the peak of his fame. Orchestras all over the world play his music, yet he lives modestly and depends upon private patrons. Nagged by his patronizing brothers, spied upon by officials for account of his republican beliefs, and faced with progressive hearing loss, the composer becomes increasingly isolated. Donatas Banionis plays the role of Beethoven in this poetic film directed by Seeman, which explores the joys, heartbreak, and artistic spirit of the great composer as he works on his Ninth Symphony.
