Add a Quote[first lines] Salieri: Mozart! Mozart, forgive your assassin! I confess, I killed you...
Emanuel Schikaneder: Look, I asked you if we could start rehearsals next week and you said yes. Mozart: Well, we can. Emanuel Schikaneder: So let me see it. Where is it? Mozart: Here. It's all right here in my noodle. The rest is just scribbling. Scribbling and bibbling, bibbling and scribbling.

Add a CommentThis film is a 1984 period drama film directed by Miloš Forman and written by Peter Shaffer, based on the 1979 stage play written by Shaffer. The story is a variation of Alexander Pushkin's play Mozart i Salieri (Моцарт и Сальери, 1830), in which the composer Antonio Salieri recognizes the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but thwarts him out of pride and envy. The original film premiered in 1984 was a PG-rated movie with a running time of 161 minutes. This DVD version is an R-rated 180-minute film made in 2002 by director Milos Forman with nearly 20 minutes of restored footage. It was release by the studios as a Director's Cut. This DVD has a 60-minute documentary---"Making of Amadeus" made in 2002. If you enjoyed the original film, you could re-enjoy this version with interviews with the actors, director, producers and other key members of the staff.
Way too long. I found myself losing interest the longer the film went on. They could have halved the film time and not lost anything. Shame as I had been told good things about this film. Watch, if only you are really interested and can pay attention for 3 hours.
Great movie- loved the soundtrack- my personal favourites: the Marriage of Figaro Overture and the Clarinet concerto in B flat major- 1rst movement. I recommend watching the documentary “In Search of Mozart” it will set you straight on the life and times of Mozart.- Full of great music too! : )
Can't remember much about the movie except that I didn't like it at all!
By all means watch this movie. Even if your not into classical music. This movie portrays fact and fiction into one. You can truly see the genius of Mozart. And how he had a painful yet fulfilling life. A great movie. A must see.
F Murray Abraham deserved the Oscar he got for playing Salieri, an Italian composer jealous of Mozart. This partly true, partly fictional film based on a play, shows an elderly Salieri in an insane asylum, confessing to a priest, with flashbacks showing his relationship with Mozart. A sumptuous soundtrack of Mozart compositions, played by Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Highly recommended.
Great movie, I've seen it three or four times now, and I would highly recommend this to anybody.
I really liked this movie, I loved the musical score accompanying it. I am curious if its really true? Was Mozart such a goon? Was he poisoned?
This movie is great, watched it again and again, really helps with my playing
Milos Forman's tour de force of the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
