I, Berlioz – a film by Tony Palmer.
Directed by the acclaimed, award-winning director Tony Palmer and starring Corin Redgrave. “I, Hector Louis Berlioz, composer, musician, citizen of France, tell you, in this my Last Will and Testament, that my subject is – and has always been – war.”
So begins an epic journey through the terrible struggles that Berlioz endured to get his great opera The Trojans performed. He never succeeded, and the effort cost him his life.
Sir Brian Young, former Director- General of the IBA, wrote at the time of the first transmission: “Absolutely magnificent. It will win the Prix Italia and every BAFTA award going.”
