“Are we going to appall you with something confidential and disgusting? Let’s hope so…”
In which the celebrated court composer Salieri welcomes a much ballyhooed young prodigy to Vienna. To his dismay, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is an impudent, callow upstart. Worse, he’s a genius.
The Czech emigree Milos Forman knew that art and artists are a disruptive force, too unruly for polite society. His film of Peter Shaffer’s play is full of energy, wit, and boundless music. It went on to win 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor (F Murray Abraham — Salieri’s last laugh).
This is the original, award-winning theatrical release cut, restored in 4K.
A ravishing feast for the senses.
