> Burdened by angelic voices,  our hero in this week’s film jabbers and warbles like a lunatic, a bumptious, unpleasant, self-centered man blessed with a blazing talent, a “diction from God.” Yet, the film’s dark heart, its poise and class, all stem from his less-talented rival. Here is a man consumed by envy and a furious religious piety demanding that surely, he, the devoted disciple, should be able to access such dizzying musical creations. The recognition of the true genius of those creations, will create conflict that will drive him to a moral dementia. Shot on location in Prague, the film is a visual feast of palaces, costumes, wigs, feasts, opening nights, champagne, and mountains of debt.

> Storyline:
> Antonio Salieri believes that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music is divine and miraculous. He wishes he was himself as good a musician as Mozart so that he can praise the Lord through composing. He began his career as a devout man who believes his success and talent as a composer are God's rewards for his piety. He's also content as the respected, financially well-off, court composer of Austrian Emperor Joseph II. But he's shocked to learn that Mozart is such a vulgar creature, and can't understand why God favored Mozart to be his instrument. Salieri's envy has made him an enemy of God whose greatness was evident in Mozart. He is ready to take revenge against God and Mozart for his own musical mediocrity.
