Full review
I loved this film. It is a gripping drama about the life and works of Mozart. If you are a Mozart fan then you will love this film. It is a great celebration of the talented composers music. Set in 1781 it follows the life of the composor from childhood to his death.
A memorable soundtrack accompanies the film throughout and the acting quality is superb
Released in 1984 this film won eight academy awards including best picture, best actor and best director and it is easy to see how.
Rated as a PG this is one film not to be missed.
The DVD release is a little thin on 'extras' but it does have a Music-Only option so you can enjoy the compositions of this great man without the need to watch the film.
