AMADEUS - DIRECTOR'S CUT includes new footage that was not used in the 1984 original, as well as improved sound.
In a lavish 18th-century parlor in Austria, an elderly man is found, by his servant, with his throat slashed. The wound is self-inflicted, and the man is the little-known composer Salieri (F. Murray Abraham), contemporary and adversary of the now-famed, but once reviled, composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce). Later, from his cell in an insane asylum, Salieri tells a priest (Herman Meckler) the story of his association with Mozart, confessing that he actually killed the brilliantly gifted but troubled young man. Based on the award-winning play by Peter Shaffer, Milos Forman's riveting, brilliant, Oscar-winning AMADEUS is a fictionalized account of the real-life mysterious death of Mozart. Abraham, in the role that won him the Best Actor Oscar, is the celebrated court composer to Joseph II (Jeffrey Jones)--his confidence and religious dedication shaken when he meets the boorish 26-year-old Mozart as he chases his future wife (Elizabeth Berridge) around a party while making obscene remarks. Furious that this clownish boy can produce such beautiful music, Salieri determines to keep Mozart's talent from lasting recognition and sets himself on a course for Mozart's destruction that leads to his own as well. Mozart continues to mount beautiful, moving operas (incredibly staged in the film), but becomes obsessed with writing a Requiem as his friends, family, health, and resources waste away, Salieri's manipulating presence always there. It is hard to imagine anyone--whether they are knowledgeable about classical music or not--who would not be held captive by this superb feast for the eyes and ears, a film whose excellence can be felt in every detail.

A towering achievement.
The best film on music I have seen - by a country mi...le! A brilliant picture of Mozart as history says he really was, yet which also paints a picture of the petty jealousies which ultimately destroyed the great musical genius. Minor historical inaccuracies are acceptable is pursuit of the overall excellence of the drama. The film treats its viewers as intelligent people, and the overall ambience results in a magnificent, if harrowing, portrayal of the final years of Mozart;s short life.

Amadeus Review
When I first saw this movie I was hooked - thus started my co...llection of classical music. When I heard of the 'Director's Cut' I was even more intrigued. Fortunately it was aired on television so it was like a try before you buy sort of thing. Having watched the movie, it made more sense (ie. Constanzi's dislike of Salieri). Anyway, I finally have it now in my DVD collection of special editions and the movie was well worthy of the academy awards it received.

Still a fantastic watch
This directors cut doesn't look like an 80's film, b...rilliantly remastered with 20 minutes extra. Great value for a classic film

A sublime work of fiction!
One of the most entertaining films I have ever s...een. However, it’s a shame it’s seen as a documentary on the life of Mozart when nearly all the threads in the story are pure fiction and misrepresentations. I can assure you that Mozart did not end his concerts by turning his back to the audience, then bending over, lifting up his suit tails and breaking wind while laughing like a hyena!
