    • Film Reviews

Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart was a prolific genius who has inspired people for centuries. I think we can count the movie "Amadus" in that tally, because Mozart's story (and the rumors of Salieri killing Mozart), inspired screenwriter Peter Schaffer to craft a brilliant play which inspired Milos Foreman to create a timeless movie that looks and sounds fantastic. ​

But, what about the real story. Was Mozart a filthy man-child? Did Salieri really say he killed Mozart? And, what about the Requiem. 

Dear Listener, all will be revealed as my friend David, a classical music fan, joins me to dive into the world of "Amadeus".
