Beethoven is the epitome of German musical culture. But what lies behind the name “Ludwig van,” which has long since become an international brand? The film "Beethoven Reloaded" takes a fresh look at the eminent composer from a decidedly contemporary perspective vis-à-vis the backdrop of his biography and work. It seeks to answer the question of why this artist has advanced to become a global icon and what relevance and expressiveness his work still has today.
