The story is set in Vienna, Austria, during the latter half of the 18th century.<\/p>\n<p>The film was nominated for 53 awards and received 40, including eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture), four BAFTA Awards, four Golden Globes, and a Directors Guild of America (DGA) award. In 1998, the American Film Institute ranked Amadeus 53rd on its 100 Years&#8230; 100 Movies list.<\/p>\n<p>The story begins in 1823 as the elderly Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) attempts suicide by slitting his throat while loudly begging forgiveness for having killed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce) in 1791. Placed in a lunatic asylum for the act, Salieri is visited by Father Vogler (Richard Frank), a young priest who seeks to hear his confession. Salieri is sullen and uninterested but eventually warms to the priest and launches into a long &#8220;confession&#8221; about his relationship with Mozart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_2020-01-15-History-Buffs-Amadeus.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_2020-01-15-History-Buffs-Amadeus-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-54217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_2020-01-15-History-Buffs-Amadeus-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_2020-01-15-History-Buffs-Amadeus-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_2020-01-15-History-Buffs-Amadeus-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_2020-01-15-History-Buffs-Amadeus-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_2020-01-15-History-Buffs-Amadeus.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History Buffs Published 3 Dec 2015 In this episode we look at the original Rock n Roll bad boy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!
