Edvard Grieg: What Price Immortality? Movie Review 2000

Curious biopic examines the life of composer Edvard Grieg (Scheia and Brammer at different times) through his music and the voice-over narration of Derek Jacobi. There is no dialog. As the scenes are acted out, Grieg's compositions are played and our narrator fills in the details. It's a curiously detached way to approach the subject. Those who are already familiar with the man will appreciate the film more than most others.
