A marvellous film. Avoid the disastrous Director's Cut. This is the one to love and enjoy, even if it has to be the dual layer format, unfortunately!

The trouble with this disc is that it is impossible to tell which side is which without trying it out first. Also it is a bit inconvenient when one side of the disc is ended it has to be turned over to play the other side instead of the recording being made on one side as is the usual case.

Although a great deal of leeway has been taken regarding historical accuracy, I found the movie highly entertaining. What was emphasized was the undoubted genius of Mozart. The film was built on the supposed bitter rivalry between Mozart and Salieri which I believe did not exist in reality. The music is used to great effect throughout and the costumes and staging are excellent. I had never heard of Salieri before watching this film and the movie prompted me to do a bit of research. I would imagine any fans of Salirei would have been pretty annoyed at how he was treated in the movie as by all historical accounts he was a well respected composer and teacher. Mozart, on the other hand, appears to have been just as uncouth as the film portrayed him. Great stuff.

This is a brilliant film, made with immense care and artistry. Yes, the claim against Salieri in the plot may be untrue, but it is true that Mozart excited a lot of jeaousy in his musical world, and was remarkably unguarded at times in his comments about others. In his letters there is evidence that Salieri was indeed a stirrer at times. But the film is a superb work of art, with wonderful music, fantasy, ribald humour, intrigue, visuals... it's a treasure, really is.

It was lovely to find the original film as opposed to the inferior Directors cut version, which seems to be the only option of buying this new.
