Amadeus

Name: Amadeus
Released: 1984

1984

As an old man, the court composer Antonio Salieri confesses his consuming envy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — a vulgar, effortless genius whose gift he both worships and cannot forgive. A lavish, Oscar-sweeping drama of mediocrity and brilliance.

Why it’s here

A Vienna-centered Mozart and Salieri drama rooted in Austrian imperial music culture.
