Film Description

Though in great pain and too old to be really convincing in Wagner's young revolutionary period, Burton is perfect as this smouldering genius ages, with his peremptory air and abrupt, biting speech. The film tries to rival The Ring in its length and sweep, has an incredible dramatic and operatic cast, and Wagner's music, which underscores the action, is conducted by the late Sir George Solti.
