Absolutely wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2007)

Amadeus won 8 Oscars during the 1985 ceremony and every single one of them was deserved.
This movie holds your attention and keeps you interested without any violence or sex....just a good story and great acting, direction, sets, costumes, etc....
F. Murray Abraham won a very deserved Oscar for his performance as the sympathetic "villain" Antonio Salieri. It's too bad F. Murray's career never materialized into much afterward and I hope he can make a comeback. Tom Hulce never really got off the ground after this either and watch for good performances by Elizabeth Berridge, Jeffery Jones, and Christine Ebersole. Also, look for a young Cynthia Nixon whose brief but memorable performance as a maid/spy sent by Salieri to watch Mozart is charming and also she has a great crying scene.
This movie is near perfect and I highly recommend it!!
