THE BOHEMIAN | Official Trailer | Music Box Films

Available on Digital July 30

In 18th century Italy, aspiring opera composer Josef Mysliveček dreams of becoming a musician. His ambitions lead him to embark on a journey, exploring the world of opera to fulfill his destiny. Against all odds, he makes his mark in sophisticated Venice society as “Il Boemo,” his talent and charm winning over socialites, impresarios, and performers – in addition to the many women captivated by his appeal. Embracing a hedonistic lifestyle within the “pleasure capital” of Europe, Mysliveček enjoys a multitude of sexual relationships while pouring his heart into his music.

The Bohemian follows Mysliveček’s most prolific decades, composing numerous works in the genre of Italian opera seria as well as influencing and befriending Mozart — though their relationship is tested when a life-changing commission comes between them. Winner of six Czech Lion Awards, including Best Czech Film and Best Director, and selected as the Czech submission for Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards, this lush biopic from Petr Václav commemorates an underappreciated, adventurous musical great.

Director: Petr Václav
Cast: Vojtech Dyk, Elena Radonicich, Barbara Ronchi, Lana Vlady, Alberto Cracco, Federica Vecchio

“An old-school, sumptuously appointed musical biopic”
- Variety

“A strong biopic that has something to say about musical creativity and opportunity, as well as the colorful lifestyle of 18th century Venetians.”
- Deadline

“A visually and musically vivid film”
- Screen Daily

“Václav keeps all his elements in balance, managing to celebrate the beauty of opera on the one hand while showing us uglier mini dramas playing out at the front and back of house.”
- Eye for Film
