A fortuitous turn of events orchestrates an opportunity for aspiring composer Anna Holtz (Diane Kruger, Troy) to work beside the greatest artist alive: Ludwig van Beethoven.
Told in flashback, Copying Beethoven centres on the last years of Beethoven's life - a turbulent period in which his personal struggles stimulated arguably the greatest symphony ever written, his astonishing Ninth.
Featuring a soaring score, the film is driven by a towering performance from four-time Academy Award nominee Ed Harris (A History of Violence) in the title role.
