Once the highly regarded composer to the Viennese Court, Salieri is now an old man, unknown and confined to an asylum.

But his lifestyle and attitude may yet prove to be his tragic undoing., Eight Oscars, including Best Picture and Director, went to Milos Forman’s lavish version of Peter Shaffer’s play about Mozart and Antonio Salieri., Eight Oscars, including Best Picture and Director, went to Milos Forman’s lavish version of Peter Shaffer’s play about Mozart and composer Antonio Salieri., For this film adaptation of Peter Shaffer’s Broadway hit, director Milos Forman returned to the city of Prague that he’d left behind during the Czech political crises of 1968, bringing along his usual cinematographer and fellow Czech expatriate, Miroslav Ondrícek. Amadeus is an expansion of a Viennese “urban legend” concerning the death of 18th century musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. From the vantage point of an insane asylum, aging royal composer Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) recalls the events of three decades earlier, when the young Mozart (Tom Hulce) first gained favor in the court of Austrian emperor Joseph II (Jeffrey Jones). Salieri was incensed that God would bless so vulgar and obnoxious a young snipe as Mozart with divine genius. Why was Salieri — so disciplined, so devoted to his art, and so willing to toady to his superiors — not touched by God? Unable to match Mozart’s talent, Salieri uses his influence in court to sabotage the young upstart’s career. Disguising himself as a mysterious benefactor, Salieri commissions the backbreaking Requiem, which eventually costs Mozart his health, wealth, and life. Among the film’s many pearls of dialogue, the best line goes to the emperor, who rejects a Mozart composition on the grounds that it has “too many notes.” Amadeus won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for F. Murray Abraham. In 2002, the film received a theatrical re-release as “Amadeus: The Director’s Cut,” a version that includes 20 minutes of additional footage., Milos Forman’s Oscer-winning film (showing in the director’s cut), based on Peter Shaffer’s play (who also picked up a statuette for his adapted screenplay) tells the story of the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart through the eyes of his bitter rival Antonio Salieri. The film opens with Salieri in a madhouse, confessing to Mozart’s murder. However, as his story unfolds, it becomes apparent that his jealousy of Mozart’s genius and his fear at the young composer’s threat to his role as court composer are tempered by an admiration for Mozart’s genius – a genius Salieri knows he will never achieve. With glorious Oscar-winning cinemaphotography, this witty, sumptuous film also stars Elizabeth Berridge, Simon Callow and Roy Dotrice., F Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce, Elizabeth Berridge, Simon Callow, Roy Dotrice, Christine Ebersole.
