It stretches the truth on Wolfie, BUT WHO CARES

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2002)

Amadeus. What can a film lover say about this gorgeous hulk?
Well, for starters, the acting is truly as good as it gets. F. Murray Abraham was born to play Salieri, and that Oscar was ALL HIS. Mr. Hulce, all due respect, but the Academy got it right that year.
The agony & the ecstasy, indeed. The divine music of "that little german boy", Wolfgang couldn't have gotten a better boost in recognition than with this extremely entertaining piece of work by the great Milos Forman. I watch this film whenever I get in a funk. It literally transports me to another time- yet the characters feel like friends & neighbors, not just some folk over in Europe.
The experience of viewing Amadeus should make you very happy. If not, then I suggest you have your pulse taken. Like golden rays of sunshine beaming down from the clouds... Have I gushed enough?
