    Editorial Reviews

    Jules Massanet's operatic adaptation of Goethe's Die Leiden Des Jungen Werthers has been brought to the screen by noted Czech director Petr Weigl. Werther is a man desperately in love with Charlotte, who is engaged to marry his close friend Albert. Resigned to his fate, Werther moves away and begins a correspondance with Charlotte, in which he explains his feelings for her. Charlotte is moved by the passion of Werther's letters, and she finds herself struggling to reconcile her newly awakened feelings for Werther with her duties to her husband Albert. Brigitte Fassbaender leads Werther's fine cast as Charlotte. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

    August 22, 2002: The singing of the two principles (especially Fassbaender) is good and the film looks pretty. But the director compresses the performance to feature film length by deleting every scene that does not involve the two principle singers. This is not a performance of ''Werther''; it is a disk of highlights.
