'It was the most erotic moment of my life.' - The Antonio Salieri Edition [Amadeus - 1984]

[irisbleufic]

Just rewatched Amadeus for the first time since college. It was an old movie when I first saw it. Fuck, it’s still one of the best I��ve ever seen. I’ll never get over F. Murray Abraham’s performance as Salieri. His microexpressions while those snippets of Mozart’s music are playing fucking destroy me. He has hundreds of them. Weirdly, IWTV is responsible for this rewatch due to Assad Zaman’s mastery of microexpressions—his use of them kept reminding me of something, I couldn’t put my finger on it, and then I saw today on Twitter that it’s the 40th anniversary of Amadeus, and I was like…ohhh. It’s the guy who played Salieri. He did that shit. Okay, that’s why I need to rewatch, got it. My thoughts fishbowl-circle the weirdest resonances sometimes. Men who commit heinous emotional crimes with their captivating faces, ugh.

Amadeus (Milos Forman, 1984)

Cast: F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce, Elizabeth Berridge, Roy Dotrice, Simon Callow, Christine Ebersole, Jeffrey Jones, Charles Kay, Kenneth McMillan, Richard Frank, Cynthia Nixon. Screenplay: Peter Shaffer, based on his play. Cinematography: Miroslav Ondricek. Production design: Patrizia von Brandenstein. Film editing: Michael Chandler, T.M. Christopher, Nena Danevic. Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; music editor: Mark Adler. 

Of all human phenomena, genius may be the most puzzling. What combination of heredity and environment produced a Shakespeare, a Leonardo, a Newton, a Mozart? For the Antonio Salieri of Peter Shaffer's play and the screenplay he based on it, the only answer has to be God. And his jealousy of Mozart leads him to a rejection of God and an attempt to destroy God's creation, whom he sees as a giggling, smutty-minded clown unworthy of the musical talent God has lavished on him. Amadeus is not a biopic; Shaffer called it a "fantasia" based on the lives and careers of Mozart and Salieri, and he plays fast and loose with the details of both. That has disturbed many who know the facts, but the sumptuous entertainment of the movie almost justifies the distortions and prevarications of the story it tells. That it's filled with Mozart's music is certainly most in its favor, and the performances of F. Murray Abraham as Salieri and Tom Hulce as Mozart add to it. Sometimes a beautiful lie is more satisfying than the truth.

'Amadeus' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. There is a lot to like about physical media, especially when it is in the 4K format. There are the special features, the audio and video quality and, of course, the fact that you own the movie.  This means you never have to worry about a streaming platform taking it down and then having to hope your local library…
