100It still soars, but now it seems richer, more expansive. Amadeus reminds us that movies can be lyrical as well as vulgar, ambitious as well as playful, brilliant as well as down and dirty -- just like Amadeus himself.

100"Amadeus is about as close to perfection as movies get," I wrote in 1984. Now, it's 20 minutes closer.

75Amadeus needs an additional 20 minutes running time like "The Magic Flute" needs a drum solo. Though the production is gussied up with more frills and decoration than a Viennese dessert trolley, Forman is generally workmanlike in his visual style and very uneven with his handling of actors.
-
It binds up introductory lessons in music appreciation, Freudian psychology, and fanciful history with a pulp thriller plot.
