Welcome to 068 of Choose Film: A Reel Retrospective podcast.
It's time to suit up! We are off to the opera. Rebecca & Gary are joined by theatre director Lauren Mitchell to discuss the 3hr long epic -- Amadeus.
Synopsis
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a remarkably talented young Viennese composer who unwittingly finds a fierce rival in the disciplined and determined Antonio Salieri. Resenting Mozart for both his hedonistic lifestyle and his undeniable talent, the highly religious Salieri is gradually consumed by his jealousy and becomes obsessed with Mozart's downfall, leading to a devious scheme that has dire consequences for both men.
