CGiii Comment
Love Song is based on life-long, ground-breaking research by Tchaikovsky aficionado and filmmaker Ian Woodward who reveals for the first time the heart-breaking true story behind the creation of Tchaikovsky's fantasy overture Romeo and Juliet which gave the world one of the most famous love themes ever written. The facts are presented in biopic form. All the characters depicted in the film actually existed, although some moments have been fictionalised to fill-in gaps where details are scant or non-existent.
