Amadeus
Instrueret af Miloš FormanDen unge komponist Mozart elsker at provokere sine omgivelser. Ingen kan tåle ham - men alle falder for hans musik. Også den veletablerede komponist Salieri, der er ude af sig selv af skinsyge over Mozart's succes. Der var Oscars i lange baner til Milos Forman's usædvanlige portræt af et geni.
Amadeus-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- Mike11. oktober 2024Amadeus is a manifestation of perfection. A perfection that is rare to behold "32 years of slowly watching myself become extinct. My music growing fainter, all the time fainter till no one plays it at all, and his..." You would initially think that the title of this film is only reffering to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but it is reffering to both Mozart and Salieri. Salieri mentions at the beginning of the film that he devotes himself to God... Amare [Classical: äˈmäːrɛ] [Ecclesiastical: äˈmäːre] The Latin word for "to love" or "I love". Deus [Classical: ˈd̪e.ʊs] [Ecclestiastical: ˈd̪ɛː.us] The Latin word for "god" or "deity". The title reffering to both Mozart and Salieri symbolizes the connection of their love for music. A connection that is stronger than anything else, even Salieri's jealousy... Even though my reviews are mainly possitive, I always have some criticism when forming an opinion on a film. With Amadeus I could not find a single aspect that wasn't crafted into perfection. From the story, plot, cinematography, music (obviously), characters, character arcs, acting, costume design to the set design... everything was, in my opinion, perfect. A perfect film does not necessarily mean it is my favorite film, hence why Amadeus is not my most favorite film. My favorite film does not need to be perfect. The character arcs of both Mozart and Salieri were very interesting. Mozart went from this joyful and energetic person, to an obsessive and even depressed one. Salieri went from a calm and professional person, to a jealous and in some ways anarchic one. Throughout these strong changes one thing remains the same. Their love for music. The cinematography, especially in combination with the beautiful comstume and set design, created some very aesthetically pleasing visuals. But the prime element in this film is the music. Music that was created by Mozart himself. Not only do we see the amount of effort Mozart is putting in the creation of these musical compositions, but we simultaneously hear the remarkable result of them. This means that we do not only see the emotions of Mozart, but we also feel them through his music. This adds a lot to the immersion. Although this film is not large-scale, the powerful music left me the impression that I was watching an epic. Read full review at Letterboxd: Mike_v_E
- Patrick Willis29. januar 2026To watch Amadeus is not merely to see a film; it is to witness a sublime opera of human contradiction, rendered in cinematic form with unparalleled audacity, heart, and wit. Milos Forman’s 1984 adaptation of Peter Shaffer’s stage play is not just a great movie... it is a sensational, transformative work of art that achieves the seemingly impossible: it makes divinity visceral, genius tangible, and mediocrity tragically epic.
- nellosaurus5. januar 2026Yes, it's long, but it's truly brilliant - creative, intriguing about the life of Mozart and Salieri, all threaded with the complexities of human emotions. Long watch but definitely worth it.

- Eric Bakke9. oktober 2024(Theatrical Version) Offers a unique and captivating portrayal of the life and genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and features the most exquisite soundtrack in film history. The use of music in "Amadeus" elevates the film to a transcendent and immersive experience, capturing the essence and power of Mozart's genius while enriching the storytelling and emotional resonance of the narrative.
- mickerdoo30. oktober 2025Story of envy set to an epic playlist. The design, costuming and opera scenes are bonkers. Easily rewatchable.
- Gerard18. oktober 2025Surprised by this, expected less and got a lot more.
- Hrishi Nani10. oktober 2025Absolute piece of art
- Steven26. september 2025A literal masterpiece that Mozart himself would probably be proud of. I saw this in 4k at a theater. Damn does it just hit harder on the big screen, in 4k, and with the audio. IMO one of the best movies ever made and the very best of the 80s.
- John Arnold8. september 2025Long, beautiful, heartbreaking. One of my all time favourite movies.
- Rob MacKinnon5. juli 2025Watched the 2024 restored theatrical cut. Brilliant. "Mediocrities everywhere... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you all."
- witty youngman18. august 2025This was charming. I didn’t look much into this one before watching it, but I did know it was worth watching from its notoriety. The ending was a decent twist! I liked the plot and I’m a music history buff, so this was a fun one to watch. A little long, but it had twists and turns.
- Domenico Aiello22. juni 2025A true cinematic masterpiece, although the story behind Salieri's envy of Mozart is completely untrue.
