Amadeus

We continue Mike White May, without the man himself on this episode, with a look at what could be considered Forman's finest hour as a filmmaker but what is definitely his most critically revered work, Amadeus. Rankin on Bass's Richard Hatem joins the episode he programmed to talk all about F. Murray Abraham, the power of legacy, and Mozart's raucous farts.Directed by Forman, the film follows the life of Antonio Salieri, a contemporary of the titular Mozart, who must grapple with his complicated relationship with the legendary composer along with attempting to solidfy a place for himself in history. It's a story of legacy, creative genius, and whether or not a divine creator is at the center of it all.For more episodes of the Kulturecast along with many more podcasts that are guaranteed to be your new favorite audio obsession, check out Weirding Way Media at weirdingwaymedia.com.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.
