Review of Amadeus (1984) by Trailesque — 09 May 2022
This really is a magnificent movie. I did not love all aspects of it; e.g. only Abraham's performance really stands out from the crowd, and Hulce and Berridge are both somewhat irritating. However, it is hard not to appreciate such color and pageantry, and the tribute to Mozart's genius.
And as a work of historical fiction, it is worthy of discussion. It is interesting to note that, like his quasi-villain Salieri, writer Peter Shaffer experienced great success in his artistic career, but is mostly forgotten today.
