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.
