Amadeus -The Film

 This film, on the life of Mozart, is brilliant.

The film focuses on the rivalry between a court musician in Vienna, and Mozart, an upstart musical genius.

Tom Hulce played Mozart with a rare mixture of audacity and verve. His laughter-at times hysterical- is a nice touch, and gives the character some distinctiveness.

The music, of course, is excellent, and a highlight for even those -like me- who don't understand Western classical music.

Definitely worth a watch.
