Amadeus
1984 · TMDB 8.0
Directed by Miloš Forman
Disciplined Italian composer Antonio Salieri becomes consumed by jealousy and resentment towards the hedonistic and remarkably talented young Salzburger composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Why it matters
Court composer Antonio Salieri, consumed by envy, plots against the prodigious Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose effortless genius torments him. A tale of artistic rivalry and divine injustice.
