Amadeus - Director's Cut


It is 1781, and Antonio Salieri is the competent court composer to Emperor Joseph II. When Amadeus Mozart arrives at court, Salieri is horrified to discover that the godlike musical gifts he desires for himself have been bestowed on a bawdy, impish jokester. Mad with envy, he plots to destroy Mozart by any means. Perhaps, even murder. Starring: F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce, Jeffrey Jones, Roy Dotrice, Simon Callow, Elizabeth Berridge and Christine Ebersole. Winner of eight Academy Awards.
