Directed by: Milos Forman

Milos Forman's opulent award-winning adaptation of Peter Shaffer's stage play. It's 1781 and Antonio Salieri (Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham) is the competent court composer to Emperor Joseph II (the excellent Jeffrey Jones). When Mozart (Oscar nominee Tom Hulce) 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...

Here released in a revitalised digital transfer and including more than 20 minutes worth of scenes not in the original release Amadeus The Director's Cut achieves a rare feat by improving on the already outstanding original.
