Amadeus
1984 161mins USA (PG) Drama
Directed by Milos Forman Starring F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce, Elizabeth Berridge

Winner of 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, AMADEUS tells the life and work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart seen through the eyes of his contemporary and rival, Antonio Salieri.

It’s the late 18th century and Antonio Salieri is the most famous musician in Vienna. That is, until a young man arrives in 1781 and changes everything forever: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Even at the age of six, Mozart was already famous as a prodigy, dragged around Europe by his dominating father Leopold, showing off musical tricks for the amusement of the aristocracy. Now, at 26, Mozart has become a composer, eager to present his abilities. Salieri hears him perform and is dismayed to discover that his is the most beautiful music he’s ever heard.

When Salieri meets Mozart, the young man proceeds to insult him in a variety of ways. Envious of his junior’s talent, which throws his own mediocrity into sharp relief, Salieri does his best to curtail Mozart’s success, and plots to destroy him.
