Subtext: Conversations about Classic Books and Films The Music of Longing in “Amadeus” (1984) – Part 2
Are Mozart’s gifts a glitch in divine accounting? Or are his flaws attendant on or even the result of his genius? And how can we account for the glitch in Salieri’s design, which permits longing to go unanswered by talent? Wes & Erin continue their discussion of the 1984 film “Amadeus,” directed by Milos Forman.
Upcoming Episodes: Susan Sontag’s On Photography; Withnail & I; Waiting for Godot
