Masterful acting makes Amadeus a classic study in jealousy

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 1998)

F. Murray Abraham deservedly won an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Antonio Salieri. Salieri is driven mad by his jealousy of Amadeus. Abraham captures Salieri's anger and jealousy perfectly. Tom Hulce is excellent as the great Amadeus. Milos Forman does a very good job directing, however, he tends to let the story drag along very slowly a couple of times.
