I just saw the Director's Cut of the movie. Wow, this version just enhanced a movie that was already awesome, and the added footage fits in perfectly. I highly recommend seeing this version if ever available

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2002)

The Director's Cut shows Mozart actually struggling to get pupils, and Salieri taken direct action and spreading rumours to keep Amadeus down, and we see why Mrs. Mozart hates Salieri so much at the end. There's also more footage of the operas. The extra footage also fits in perfectly, and is not out of place at all, actually adding better understanding to certain scenes. The acting is just incredible in this movie, and it's almost a shame that Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham couldn't have have both received Oscars. This new version comes in at just over 3 hours, and is just great.
