Hoezo in KINO

While director Milos Forman’s early films are currently screening in our Czech New Wave retrospective, we also celebrate the 40th anniversary of his eight Oscar winning cinematic opus, Amadeus. The mesmerizing biography of arguably the most naturally brilliant musical mind in history remains an absolute audiovisual delight, four decades on. Tom Hulce brilliantly portrays the childlike Mozart, seen through the eyes of his bitter musical rival and self-proclaimed assassin, Antonio Salieri. Amadeus is a rip roaring celebration of singular genius, the trials of life and the trappings of navigating success. A historical film that dares to exhibit all the aspects of a life, including death. English language without subtitles.
