Plot
The composer Salieri, jealous of Mozart's genius, schemes to destroy him. Told in flashbacks by the aged Salieri.
Sinekatalog’s take
Salieri's envy of Mozart as a gothic, funny, operatic drama. Miloš Forman balances lavish period detail with great music, and F. Murray Abraham's tormented narrator carries the film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
