Synopsis
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a remarkably talented young Viennese composer who unwittingly finds a fierce rival in the disciplined and determined Antonio Salieri. Resenting Mozart for both his hedonistic lifestyle and his undeniable talent, the highly religious Salieri is gradually consumed by his jealousy and becomes obsessed with Mozart's downfall, leading to a devious scheme that has dire consequences for both men.

L.A. Weekly
Remains the most popularly successful film ever to render the inner life of an artist. - 100
Chicago Tribune
It still soars, but now it seems richer, more expansive. Amadeus reminds us that movies can be lyrical as well as vulgar, ambitious as well as playful, brilliant as well as down and dirty -- just like Amadeus himself. - 100
New Times (L.A.)
One of the finest qualities of Amadeus is that it reminds us of those rare occasions when an Oscar sweep is actually merited. - 100
San Francisco Chronicle
Perfect pitch. - 100
New York Daily News
Amadeus is about as close to perfection as movies get. - 90
The A.V. Club
The superbly edited original version of Amadeus used overlapping sound cues for a lively flow between scenes, and the new version breaks up some of that flow with lengthy, talky interludes. Still, Ondrícek's breathtaking images and Forman's essential craft are best appreciated on the big screen, and another theatrical run for Amadeus is a welcome gift, no matter how much this edition unnecessarily gilds what's already a near-perfect lily - 83
Baltimore Sun
Except for the Mozart music and Tharp movements around the edges, Amadeus plays like a monument to mediocrity. The movie belongs to Salieri. - 83
Portland Oregonian
The big-screen reissue offers a rare chance to admire the marvelous production details.
