This film tries to be a musical drama as well as a murder mystery thriller, but the latter is so undercooked given the lack of suspense. Still I'd recommend it if you're a fan of Mozart's music and period drama films.

Interlude in Prague is at best a chance to hear some lovely music by Mozart but, for a film about the genesis of Don Giovanni, it could do with more of it.

[Aneurin Barnard] is a likeable enough Mozart, one a little more world-weary than that portrayed by Tom Hulce in Amadeus.

Its tone veers wildly in operatic fashion from cute comedy to lusty romance to very dark violence. But the actors are terrific, and the film catches a clever sense of both the history and the music.
