Description

Nominated for eleven Academy Awards and winner of eight, including Best Picture, Director and Actor, this lavish story, based upon a Viennese urban legend and hit Broadway play, recounts the downfall of 18th-century musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as orchestrated by his nemesis, the less talented but politically favored Antonin Salieri. Starring Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham ("Thirteen Ghosts," "Finding Forrester"), Academy Award-nominee Tom Hulce ("Frankenstein," "Fearless"), Simon Callow ("Notting Hill," "Shakespeare in Love"), Golden Globe-nominated Jeffrey Jones ("Sleepy Hollow," "The Devil's Advocate") and Elizabeth Berridge (TV's "The John Larroquette Show"). Directed by Oscar-winner Milos Forman ("Man on the Moon," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest").

    Best film I have ever seen in my life. You fall in love with Wolfie and his music. When he dies at such a young age you realise what a loss for such an amazing man, husband, dad and composition. This movie has inspired me to write my own sheet music to become a composer. Girls can be composers right? Best wishes to all the cast and R.I.P to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. :)

    Watching this movie is a very profound experience,not least because of the astounding score but also the sheer sadness of watching a true genius slip into obscurity and ultimately his grave,and a paupers one at that,

  • Utterly Sublime film

    i like coz of the scene where the lead shows her breasts.. but hey, its a great film!, even for those who know little about the man himself, but cmon...who doesnt! More of a 12 rather than PG, several mature scenes, and a mature film.
