Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich is the subject of this film about his life by Tony Palmer. Shostsakovich's intensely dramatic music fully matched Palmer's own characteristically dynamic and expressive style. Central to the film is the relationship between Shostakovitch and Stalin, and the terrible price which Shostakovitch paid for his survival. Ben Kingsley stars as the composer.

Ben Kingsley stars as celebrated Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich in this lengthy historical biography. Along with Prokofiev, Shostakovich is considered among the elite of the 20th-century composers to emerge from his country. Striving to be true to his art form, the composer was caught in the political crossfire of the Stalin regime and was criticized for being politically ambiguous. Under constant pressure, Shostakovich silenced many of his critics when he remained in Leningrad during the Nazi siege to complete his stirring 7th symphony. Terrence Rigby plays Stalin, with Ronald Pickup as the ill-fated Soviet official Tukhachevsky, another of Stalin's many victims. Shostakovich lived until 1975. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
