Le Neveu de Beethoven (1985)
Directed by Paul Morrissey

Drama
aka: Beethoven's Nephew

Film Synopsis

Beethoven was famously a man who was difficult to get on with, and his mood was not helped by the deafness that he had to endure until the end of his days.  After his brother's death, he lent his services as tutor to his nephew, Karl.  The young man found it hard to endure the presence of the despotic musical genius who sought to control every aspect of his life.
