Try watching "Immortal Beloved". A beautiful movie.

[Publius]

I saw it and hated it. Thanks to the hard work of Maynard Solomon, we now know that Beethoven's Immortal Beloved was Antonia Brentano, the wife of a diplomat from one of the Italian city states.

I would recommend Paul Morrisey's "Beethoven's Nephew" from 1986. It's much darker, and it gives a glimpse into the mind of a genius who lacked almost all social skills.
