A masterpiece. Quite fitting given its subject.

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2002)

I saw the Broadway play years back, with F. Murray Abraham playing Salieri. It was nothing less than spellbinding. Afterwards, I went to see the movie. I was prepared to be disappointed, but the movie was just as compelling, just as engaging as watching it on stage. Aside from the obvious accolades for stunning costumes and, of course, the music, what makes this movie so wonderful is the amazing acting. There are scenes that carry more acting skill in a couple minutes then many movies have in total.

And again, I must mention the music. So incredibly wonderful. And just in case you're wondering ... I'm a rock fan from the 70's!
