Synopsis for
Amadeus (1984)

It is a cold winter evening and a houseman attempts to rouse his master, former glorified Vienese court composer Antonio Salieri. Being unsuccessful knocking, they force Salieri's bedroom door opne and find him on the floor, bleeding from a knife wound to the neck. They carry him to a mental hospital, where his wound is bound up, and a priest comes to see him the next day. The priest attempts to get him to explain why he would try to take his own life and the movie flashes back, with Salieri narrating, to how he met Mozart and became insanely jealous of his talent. Tom Hulce plays Mozart and F. Murray Abraham plays Salieri. Cynthia Nixon, Jeffrey Jones, and Roy Dotrice also co-star.
