Amadeus triumphs as gripping human drama, sumptuous period epic, glorious celebration of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - and as the winner of eight 1984 Academy Awards, including Best Picture (produced by Asul Zaentz), Actor (F. Murray Abraham), Director (Milos Forman) and Adapted Screenplay (Peter Shaffer).
Synopsis: Fictionalized account of Mozart contemporary Antonio Salieri's petty jealousy of the aforementioned classical-music master. This lush "biopic" provides good, clean Austrian fun and a view into Mozart's life that shows a more oversexed and pranksterish "Woflie" than is revealed in all those placid-faced busts on the ends of grand pianos the world over.
