Excellent movie about Mozart. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mozart, I can't think of a time when I didn't know his name... *by J***. on February 24, 2015* While I have always appreciated classical music, I always prefer to listen to rock stations while driving. While I love movies of all kinds, the period drama has never exactly been my favorite genre. I've never really been a fan of theater or opera either. So how did Amadeus, a movie that combines all of these things, become one of my favorite films? Directed by Milos Forman (director of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"), Amadeus is a comedy-drama based on a 1979 play of the same name (which itself is a variation of an earlier play). Unlike most movies of this kind, the story of Amadeus is based on rumors and urban legends surrounding the life and death of the great composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in particular the rumor that he was murdered by rival musician Antonio Salieri. The story is not historically accurate but makes no attempt to be, something to keep in mind while watching. Like Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, Amadeus is simply using history as a backdrop for a fictional story.As a child, Antonio Salieri begged God for a chance to be a composer, promising to dedicate his entire life to music in return. When his prayers are answered, Salieri keeps his promise. Years later, after becoming court composer for the Holy Roman Emperor, Salieri finally meets the man who's success had inspired him and made him the man he is; Mozart. But the man he meets is far from what he expected. As it turns out, the great Mozart is a childish, arrogant, and extremely unprofessional man. Feeling that the God he had dedicated his life to had betrayed him by choosing someone like Mozart as his instrument, Salieri dedicates his life to ruining Mozart's career which, by extension, will mean triumphing over God himself.The story of Amadeus is absolutely brilliant, and one of the greatest I have ever seen in film. The way the film seamlessly blends comedy and drama while telling the story of these two great men is incredible. The pacing and writing are both flawless and there is not a single moment where I am bored. The cinematography and sets are both fantastic, especially when portions of Mozart's operas are shown. The soundtrack is among the greatest I have ever heard in a movie, although this is hardly surprising considering it consists entirely of Mozart and Salieri's work. The music isn't just tossed into scenes carelessly either, it always suits the scene and mood perfectly. Tom Hulce is great as the obnoxious yet brilliant Mozart. Hulce did an excellent job of showing Mozart's transformation from carefree rockstar to overstressed and on the verge of madness. The supporting cast was great as well, in particular Jeffery Jones as the musically ignorant Emperor. However, the real show-stealer is F. Murray Abraham as Antonio Salieri. Abraham's performance remains the greatest I have ever seen in a film. He plays the character so well that I kept forgetting he was acting. Like Gregory Peck's role as Atticus Finch or Robert De Niro's role as Travis Bickle, this is a character that nobody but Abraham could have played.The film looks fantastic on blu-ray, and I had no problems while watching it. Like many other people have said, I was disappointed that the original cut of the film could not be watched. I have only seen the director's cut and I would have liked to see the original version. Personally I think the pacing is great even with the extra scenes, so this is a minor issue for me, but it is still disappointing. I haven't watched the "Making of Amadeus" documentary yet but I look forward to when I get the chance. I was hoping to see some behind the scenes extras and interviews, but I assume they are all included in the documentary. I will update this review once I have watched the documentary.Amadeus is an absolute masterpiece that more people need to see and at such a low price, there's no excuse. Of course not everyone will love it, but Amadeus is one of those films that every movie fan needs to see at least once. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amadeus: Director's Cut [Blu-ray] - Nosferatu (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital) - Seven (4K Ultra HD + Digital) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11986266-amadeus-directors-cut-bd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11986266-amadeus-directors-cut-bd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
