Plot Summary

In the 18th century, no man was more famous, more beloved, or more celebrated than the man called Farinelli. The amazing true story of the world famous castrato comes brilliantly to life in a sumptuous and sexy drama of high notes and even higher passions. With all the charisma, talent, drive and success of a modern-day rock star, Farinelli had everything: money, talent, fame, women... and the voice of an angel.

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: Artistry abounds in every aspect of the film. – Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times, Feb 24, 2007

Rotten: Glossy and histrionic, salacious and empty, Farinelli reduces a fascinating story to a series of hissy fits and leering glances. – Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle, May 7, 2003

Fresh: A fascinating, if occasionally overly melodramatic, recreation of a period when Baroque music ruled Europe. – James Berardinelli, ReelViews, Sep 16, 2006
