Amadeus

Vienna, at the court of the Emperor Joseph II. Antonio Salieri, the esteemed court composer who once promised God a virtuous life in return for fame, makes a startling confession at the end of his days. He takes us back to the arrival of the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: crude, childish and giggling, yet able to write music so perfect that Salieri hears the voice of God in it. Convinced that heaven has chosen the wrong man, Salieri sets out to destroy him.
