Wolf Gang recommended Amadeus (1984) in Movies (curated)

 
Amadeus (1984)
Amadeus (1984)
1984 | Drama, History, Musical

"It’s a brilliant film about Mozart. If you don’t really know much about classical music, you hear the songs but you don’t think about the people behind them. This film turned that concept on its head, and turned him into this licentious part animal. The actor’s got this amazing high-pitched laugh that’s so funny.”"

Here's a 21st Century fairy tale that mixes the classical with modernity. A delightful story that's also intriguing. WARNING: do NOT buy this as an eBook. If you want to read it, get it in hardcover. You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/08/05/a-new-fairy-tale-ballet/

"One of my most precious books is Lucretius. It was published in Venice in 1515 by Aldus Manutius, who was a Venice printer who published the equivalent of Penguin in paperbacks. All great classical authors, or most of them, were published by Aldus Manutius in a small book in a wonderfully elegant italic script typeface."
