Amadeus

Ett fulländat porträtt av en legend...

...en absolut pärla, ett filmhistoriskt mästerverk...

As required, F. Murray Abraham gives the performance of a lifetime: brooding, soul-deep, an Iago of seething passion, who always keeps the audience close, intimate to his plans.

The movie's success is partly explained, I think, by its strategy of portraying Mozart not as a paragon whose greatness is a burden to us all, but as a goofy proto-hippie with a high-pitched giggle...

The third main character is Mozart's music, which suffuses nearly every frame.
