Amadeus

This very adult version of the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart it's a work of genious. Milos Forman was always loved by his movies and this one is no exception. The characters in his movies are always deep, creative and genious.
The movie starts with Antonio Salieri narrative in an assylum, 30 years after Mozart's dead. There Salieri confesses to a priest that it was he who drove Mozart to his death. Mozart was a genious yes but the film also tells the insufferable alcohol addiction that drove the composer to the bottom of his life and make him an anarchyst in the view of the royalty and the aristocracy. Salieri is composing his Requiem, his darkest unfinished piece, but Mozart genious forces Salieri to confront the unbearable reality of his own mediocrity and pushes him over the edge.

Amadeus received eight Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Leading Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Make-Up, Best Costumes and Best Sound) and this means something. It means that Milos Forman will always suprise us with wonderful movies, with dark, confusing, creative and genious characters, a extraordinary narrative in all his movies and very good acting director. F. Murray Abraham won the oscar for his role in this movie; it's a credible and hateful character which we the audience recognize as a great interpretation in this fine art, the 7th art.

Watch this movie if you are a lover of the 7th Art and if you're not watch anyway and learn something about one of the most controversus composer in history - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a lunatic, a child, self-destructive man, strange, a genious of another time.
