ABOUT THE FILM:
Forman’s lush, rollickingly entertaining drama explores the mysteries of creativity and divinely-bestowed genius, as well as jealousy, addiction and disapproving dads. In a remote asylum, elderly composer Antonio Salieri regales a priest with the story of his long-ago frenemyship with the legendary Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Flashing back to 18th-century Vienna, the pious and pompous Salieri eagerly anticipates meeting Europe’s greatest musical genius—only to discover that Mozart is also crass, immature and deeply annoying. Knowing that the talent of a “dirty-minded little creature” far surpasses his own drives Salieri to teeth-grinding aggravation and, ultimately, an obsession to destroy his rival.
