365+ Movies In 365 Days: Day 253 - Amadeus: The Director's Cut


I love Amadeus. I have loved everything about it since I saw it in the movies in 1984. And now with the new Blu-ray release of Milos Forman's Director's Cut, there is even more to love. The new version is 20 minutes longer and highlights the relationship between Mozart and Salieri, and explores more of Mozart's troubles as he struggled to gain success in Vienna. The image and sound are stunning on Blu-ray. This is what high definition and digital sound were made for.

At The Movie House rating *****

note- since Amadeus is already a four star movie the new Director's Cut gains a rare fifth star to enhance the original rating.
