“The Man... The Music... The Madness... The Murder... The Motion Picture.”
Antonio Salieri, a disciplined Italian composer, finds himself consumed by a bitter envy and resentment towards the prodigious, irreverent Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Salieri's professional ambition and moral qualms clash spectacularly with Mozart's unbridled genius and playful debauchery, setting the stage for a drama that explores the tormented soul of a man undone by the brilliance of his rival.
