Carl, My Childhood Symphony

1994 · 125 min

A warm, unhurried period biography that swells with music and quiet feeling, best watched with full attention.

Directed by
Erik Clausen
Genres
Drama, Music
Overview
Combining the exultant sweep of epic period drama with the subtle intimacy of biography in a social perspective, this is a tale of materially impoverished childhood, struggling early manhood and an unrequited first love turned into good musical fortune for Carl Nielsen, one of the great composers of the 20th century. Based on the composer's autobiography, the film itself is designed to soar like a symphony.
