Review: This film centers around a forbidden love affair in the real life of famed German author Goethe, who is most famous for his pinnacle work, "Faust".   This is the film for the true hopeless romantic.  Two people that cannot be together and against all strive to still show each other their feelings.  Reality is too strong for them to stay together, but you're left with a resounding feeling of their passion.  Forget that Twilight crap...this one is a must see.
