More than forty years after its first release, Amadeus, Milos Forman's masterpiece and winner of no fewer than eight Academy Awards, returns to the big screen at Giunti Odeon in an incredible 4K restored version, ready to captivate audiences once again and take them back to the heart of an extraordinary musical era, 18th century Vienna.
In the Vienna of Joseph II, son of Maria Theresa of Austria, comes Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He is introduced by Salieri, a court musician, respected and appreciated everywhere. Within a short time Mozart's immense talent arouses great enthusiasm, but also enmity and jealousy. Salieri, who knows the limits of his musical professionalism, thus begins to harbour a genuine hatred towards him. He admires his art but deplores his insolent behaviour and foul language. But Mozart also seems to triumph in the Sovereign's soul, while Salieri, consumed with envy, swears to himself that he will not rest until he sees his rival dead. Despite his great successes, Mozart at the end of his short life finds himself poor and abandoned by his wife Constance. He agrees to compose a Requiem, which he dictates to Salieri himself because he is too ill. All this is narrated by Salieri himself locked in a chronicarium, now old and restless.
