Pin It

Like Shakespeare in Love with a Teutonic spin, Music Box Films' Young Goethe in Love captures the youthful years of the iconic German writer who is considered one of the greatest literary geniuses in history. His Faust is perhaps the most famous German work of literature, and his Sorrows of Young Werther influenced a generation of young German men, who dressed like the novel's hero and even committed copycat suicides. Young Goethe In Love presents a fictionalized version of the events in the author's life that inspired Werther--a love triangle between the young Goethe; the independent but impoverished Lotte and Goethe's workplace superior, Kestner.

Quotes & Highlights

"Charming in a way that American romantic comedies have all but forgotten."--Jeannette Catsoulis, NPR.org
"Insanely romantic."--Tim Cogshell, KPCC
"While Stölzl is clearly borrowing from other historical flights of fancy, such as Amadeus and Cyrano de Bergerac, along with Shakespeare in Love, the helmer and fellow screenwriters Christoph Mueller and Alexander Dydyna expertly mold these elements to fit the characters and situations' own requirements, and expertly alternate romance, humor and drama without losing their grip on the characters and their dilemmas."--Variety

Description

Director Phillip Stölzl (Northface) returns to the very wellspring of Romanticism - Goethe's autobiographical masterpiece The Sorrows of Young Werther - and conjures up a beguiling and refreshingly innocent period romance.
