Yeah, let's cast this total buffoon alongside F. Murray Abraham! That'll work wonders, right? Who cares if he can only do a cheesy American accent—Mozart was totally American, right? And while we're at it, let's make up a bunch of stuff about this dude and call it history! Oh, an thanks for the Oscars!

" I heard the music of true forgiveness filling the theater, conferring on all who sat there, perfect absolution. God was singing through this little man to all the world, unstoppable, making my defeat more bitter with every passing bar. "

A completely spellbinding cinematic experience, Forman weaves the life of Mozart from the view of Salieri, a rival composer, Forman weaves between an older Salieri and the life of Mozart beautifully, almost as if Forman himself was conducting one of Mozart's brilliant pieces. It's a cine-phony (get it? heh)

Fantastic performances, brilliant editing, and a wonderful film that I'll never need to watch again.

Director's cut is better, for obvious reasons...

Just about every aspect of production value is top notch, but what's really important are the characters and story. Not only is the screenplay excellent, but F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce give two of the best performances I've ever seen. Considering this is a three hour long period piece, I expected to be bored to tears. I was impressed.

The music's enchanting enough that on your first viewing you might accidentally under-appreciate the dazzling sets, film editing, and performances by Abraham and Hulce. What a joy for eyes and ears Amadeus is.

beautiful costumes, a charming laugh from Mozart, an occasional hilarious scene and Berridge's chest in everyone's face (and of course beautiful music) is all I could really find in this film. I think it was really drawn out, which is understandable I suppose, but it just wasn't for me.

Music History, lush cinematography, top notch performances, universal truths explored and some dick & fart jokes thrown in for good measure. A classic. (side note: Brilliantly parodied on Mr. Show with dueling marching band composers.)

Uproariously funny, with a good bit of drama thrown in, Amadeus is a terrific exploration of rivalries-gone-awry. Abraham and Hulce are a marvel to watch.

A strong and flamboyant movie! I think it's a perfect way to do a biography–through the eyes and mouth of the jealous friend. This way Mozart can be misunderstood and misinterpreted, remaining as a mystery, flooded with 'the voice of God'. Hulce is like Billy the kid, he dodged a bullet and went into hiding.

A gorgeous and powerful film. Deserves all the Oscars it won three decades ago.

I loved the dictation scene at the end. Good performances but not something I'd ever watch again.

Because you've got to have balls to give W.A.M. pink hair.

It did not woe me at all. It is a long long costume drama about a guy with an annoying laugh and an obvious talent for music.

I'm almost sorry I watched the restored version. It turned Salieri into a far more unsympathetic man (i.e. his humiliation of Mozart's wife). Stick with the original theatrical version.

Ambitious project. Good actors, great music throughout, technical perfection in it's time but felt couldn't really capture Mozart's great moments. More like an attitudinizing piece.

One of the most visually gorgeous films of all time and one of the greatest screen performances of all time from F. Murray Abraham. In addition to that, the entire cast is incredible, it's story and characters are deeply involving, and it is just simply an extremely entertaining movie. A masterpiece.
