Milos Forman's award winning biopic Amadeus gets the deluxe two-disc treatment from Warner Brothers on this release. The film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and a second English soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles, but both English soundtracks are closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Forman and the writer Peter Shaffer, a making of documentary, and a theatrical trailer. This is the director's cut of the film that restores a sequence cut from the original theatrical release. This is an excellent DVD.

I can see why some might think this movie boring. I fell asleep on it the first time I watched it, but once I got back into it, I wondered how I could fall asleep on it. (I must have been REALLY tired) The whole story is just fantastic. F. Murray Abraham as Salieri is just mesmerizing in how obsessed he is with the music that Mozart is creating. Tom Hulce is equally amazing as Mozart and all his zanyness...
