	Review: Farinelli: Il Castrato (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Farinelli brings to the screen a segment in the life story of one of the greatest singers of the 18th century.
		It is the London period (from 1734 to 1737) that this film concentrates upon, using Farinelli's relationship with his brother Riccardo (Enrico LoVerso) and his rivalry with composer G.F. Handel (Jeroen Krabbe) as the cornerstones upon which to build a narrative.
		Farinelli is not a likable man and, regardless of attempts by the script to show a more human, misunderstood side to his personality, the character comes across as a narcissistic egotist.

		He was the nephew of Cristiano Farinelli, the composer and violinist, whose name he took.
		With ever-increasing success and fame Farinelli appeared in nearly all the great cities of Italy; and returned a third time to Vienna in 1731.
		Farinelli retired with the fortune he had amassed to Bologna, and spent the remainder of his days there in melancholy splendour, dying on the 15th of July 1782.
