but you have to add in the fact that I couldn't hear about a quarter of the movie

Why?

Amadeus - (Milos Forman;1984;USA) - ***1/2
Antonio Salieri, now old and in a sanitarium tells the story of Mozart and how he envied his talent he felt God gave him wrongly.
A great film that works on several levels. The music is an obvious thing to praise but the best thing for me was Abraham's performance, which is one of those that shines not from dialogue, but the face most of all. Hulce is also very charismatic as the impish Mozart. Overall it's not an average biopic that centers on Mozart mainly, although several times it does focus too much on him. Forman's second best behind One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
