This biography about the ungovernable genius who was ruined by human ordinariness and envy was awarded eight Oscars. Milos Forman returned to socialist Czechoslovakia after a more than ten-year exile to shoot a movie about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life as seen by his jealous rival Antonio Salieri. He made a unique historical epic, which doesn't glorify a legend, but depicts a real man with his talent as well as his mistakes.
