- To 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.
- A cinematic masterpiece. Directed by Miloš Forman, the lavish historical drama won eight Academy Awards—including Best Picture—for its brilliant exploration of envy, genius, and mediocrity. Amadeus is a magnificent film, full and tender and funny and charming — and, at the end, sad and angry, too, because in the character of Salieri it has given us a way to understand not only greatness, but our own lack of it.
- (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.
- I tried hard to like this movie. At the most I can appreciate it - the acting is convincing, from both Holst and Abraham’s - but everything else is just indecipherable pretentious nonsense. Part of the problem is the era in which this movie takes place - people behave very oddly. The ostentatious deference to royalty, the wigs, the flamboyant dress and the almost religious adulation of opera left me baffled, confused and feeling like I needed a bath (in boiling rubbing alcohol). The true history or Mozart and Saleri is both fascinating and alluring - conjuring modern day feelings of jealousy, anger, and an overriding sense that life is not fair - but this movie is just people at a costume party who take themselves a bit too seriously.
