Review

The music is outstanding and sweeping, the performances are outstanding, and the screenplay is literate and bewitching (and sometimes just plain bitchy).

Director Forman's masterful adaptation of Peter Shaffer's Broadway smash is a literate, humorous and visually stunning examination of the rivalry (albeit a fictional one) between musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and court composer Antonio Salieri in 18th-century Vienna. Abraham (in his Oscar-winning role) is brilliant as the tortured Salieri, and fellow-nominee Hulce is equally commanding as the childish Mozart.

Winner of eight Academy Awards in total (including Picture and Director), Amadeus is a prime example of the classical meshing with the "pop", and is a brilliant achievement.
