00:00It's a shocking thing to hear.
00:03Why?
00:05Why share this with me?
00:07Why not tell this to a priest or a constable?
00:11You and I have no great bond.
00:14Or had you forgotten what you did?
00:18But we have the greatest bond, Frau Mozart.
00:23We have him.
00:30Hey, Mozart. They're ready for you.
01:00Very pleasant.
01:07I expected better of you, you know.
01:14Ah, Antonio!
01:20Herr Salieri!
01:22Oh, I'm Frau Salieri. It's the Salieri.
01:26You came?
01:27Yes, we came.
01:28Congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:30You're right.
01:31I'm sorry.
01:32I'm sorry.
01:33I'm sorry.
01:34I'm sorry.
01:35I'm sorry.
01:36I'm sorry.
01:37I'm sorry.
01:38I'm sorry.
01:39I'm sorry.
01:40I'm sorry.
01:41I'm sorry.
01:43Your bride is on a table.
01:45Yes, I don't know why.
01:47You know, I've been thinking about it, and I forgive you for what happened when you didn't
01:50defend me.
01:51I really do.
01:52I mean, I understand it now.
01:53You're in a very difficult position.
01:54We all know how beholden you are to this emperor, all the constraints and the rules.
01:58It's no wonder that some of your things don't fly.
02:01You're like a big, beautiful bird in a cage.
02:03I could never do what you do.
02:04It drives me absolutely fucking mad.
02:06I heard there's a new one coming, though.
02:08Is that true?
02:09Yes.
02:10La scuola di gelato.
02:11La scuola di gelato.
02:12Ice cream scuola.
02:13Gelos.
02:14Ah, gelos.
02:15School of jealousy.
02:16Well, Stanzy's sister is going up for a part.
02:20Very good singer.
02:21Really fucking mental, but lovely singing, boys.
02:24Oh, they are.
02:25Please, make yourselves at home.
02:26Enjoy these sausages and gherkins.
02:28Mmm.
02:29Let's go.
02:30Get some gherkins.
02:31Yeah.
02:32Go, go, go, go.
02:33Go, go, go.
02:36Bye, bye.
02:37You've got some gherkins.
02:38Yeah, like you've got some gherkins.
02:39Cheers, darling.
02:40We've got some gherkins.
02:43Yeah.
02:45Yeah.
02:48Cheers, darling.
02:49You've got some gherkins.
02:50Cheers, darling.
02:51Cheers, darling.
02:52Hey, kids.
02:53I'm being with you.
02:54Hey, kids.
02:55He didn't come to the wedding.
03:08Who?
03:11Father.
03:17Mother didn't mind.
03:20I suppose he is dead, so I have to forgive him.
03:22You should write to him.
03:28Tell him off.
03:31Maybe I will.
03:37Come now.
03:38You're getting better, your majesty.
03:39What's the punishment for lying to an emperor, do you think?
03:41Is it flogging or beheading?
03:44There are people in this palace who drag you out of the garden
03:46and beat you to death with rocks, if I ask them to.
03:49All of them, actually.
03:51You still have some way to go, but you are improving, majesty.
03:58My niece, Elizabeth, is coming to Vienna.
04:02She needs a music tutor, lest she ends up like her uncle.
04:04The princess?
04:06Your majesty, I would be honored to...
04:08I'm sure you would call composer, but no, I think the princess would like somebody a little bit more...
04:13A bit more...
04:14Oh, I don't know.
04:16Vibrant.
04:17Well, she's young.
04:18You understand what I'm trying to say.
04:20Yes, I think I do, sir.
04:21She had a rather fun idea.
04:23How about Mozart?
04:25Mozart?
04:25She might rather like that.
04:27He tutors, surely.
04:28I've heard the boy play.
04:29I mean, God, if he can rub some of that off on my niece, then so much the better.
04:33How is he, anyway?
04:35I was worried that he was a bit wounded by my critique on his opening night.
04:38Well, he's written about 200 concertos and got married since then, so I think he's doing fine, sir.
04:44Yes, I was hoping that he might be given a chance to write something new for us.
04:46Another brothel-set fantasy with too many notes, perhaps.
04:51Perhaps a little more judiciousness in your handling of him next time, but...
04:54No, it's funny.
04:54I went away from that opera.
04:55I couldn't stop thinking about it.
04:57I've gone under my skin somehow.
04:59We need to be bolder, Antonia.
05:02You were right at getting you to restage Tarare.
05:03It was...
05:04A success.
05:05It was safe.
05:07A copy of a Parisian hit, that's what my sister called it.
05:10No, courage is what's needed now.
05:11Courage in court and in government.
05:13We need to be brave, Antonia.
05:15Brave men win the day, do they not?
05:18Of course, Your Majesty.
05:19I'll let you give Mozart the good news about Elizabeth.
05:21One.
05:29My goodness, Rupert.
05:35Have you been practising?
05:38Um, yes.
05:41Yes, now I can tell you've really improved, haven't you?
05:43I kid, of course.
05:45I jest, I jape, I make merry.
05:47I can tell that you're lying, Rupert.
05:49I can tell you have not been practising.
05:51In fact, what you just produced leads me to question whether you haven't actually discovered
05:55something that is sort of the reverse of practising.
05:57A kind of not practising so powerful as to completely undo all of the accumulated knowledge
06:01of our previous session.
06:02A sort of anti-practice.
06:04Have you cultivated an irrational fear of competency, perhaps?
06:07Did somebody perform rudimentary surgery and replace your ten fingers with flaccid baby
06:12cocks, Rupert?
06:13Do you have flaccid baby cocks for fingers, Rupert?
06:15Have you even touched this fucking harpsichord a single time since I walked out of that door
06:19a week ago?
06:19No, I didn't think so.
06:24And that's why you're not playing it very well.
06:28Now, I'm going to go and use your privy in the hope that the noise of my intestinal fluctuations
06:32are more pleasing than whatever the fuck you just try to fart out of these keys.
06:35Are he be cocks for fingers?
06:44Yes.
06:45I'm going to run out of students.
06:46Don't worry, everybody in this town wants to learn a violin or a forte piano or a fucking
06:51triangle.
06:52I've got a letter from your father who came on your sleep.
06:56Like an assassin?
06:57Mm-hmm.
06:59Mm-hmm.
07:03Let me see.
07:05Don't worry, it's just his way.
07:13He doesn't deserve you.
07:14He definitely deserves me.
07:16Poor old bastard.
07:18Right, I might be a little bit late this evening.
07:21Mm-hmm.
07:21Bring some people back with me.
07:23Do you mind?
07:23No.
07:23Your sister is a great talent.
07:47You did want to see me, didn't you?
07:57Yes.
07:57I always just said that you...
07:59Yes.
07:59I hear your husband lost another pupil.
08:06Yes, he did.
08:08Well, as luck would have it, a new job has become available.
08:12A royal appointment, actually.
08:14Princess Elizabeth.
08:16A princess?
08:17The princess.
08:18Now, tutoring her is a position that will hold significant standing in the court and beyond.
08:25I mean, he'd be perfect for it.
08:27He's a brilliant tutor.
08:28My playing has come on so much and that's just what I'm saying.
08:30I'm wondering if you might bring me his manuscripts so that I can properly consider his work.
08:34Make his case to the emperor.
08:35Yes, of course.
08:39Bring the works to my residence, newer ones if possible, and I ask that we keep this strictly between us.
08:47Absolutely.
08:48Well, I'll go and get them right away.
08:52All right.
08:52All right.
09:05A young lady is here to see you, son.
09:30Yes.
09:35Send her in.
09:42Constanza.
09:43Herr Salieri.
09:44Come on, please.
09:45I'm telling you.
09:47Help yourself to a treat.
09:49They're from Werner's.
09:49My footman gets them.
09:50Do you know Werner's in town?
09:51Mm-hmm.
09:52Very good bakery.
09:55So these are his newest works?
09:58All from the last month or so.
10:03All this from the last month?
10:04Or so.
10:11Do you think I could keep these?
10:14You're too loco.
10:15I don't think that, um, well, he doesn't know I've come here.
10:19And he'll miss them.
10:21He doesn't make copies.
10:22These are our origins?
10:30Mm-hmm.
10:36Dear God.
10:39Do you mind if I...
10:41No, please.
10:41So what do you think?
11:11Could you speak to the Emperor in his behalf?
11:15Yes, I could speak to the Emperor.
11:20Put his name for.
11:21But know that to do so would be a cost on my God.
11:33It would be a cost.
11:35There are many powerful men who could give me something in return for my help.
11:41We don't have anything we could give you.
11:44No.
11:53I thought you wanted to help us.
11:54Well, I do.
11:57I do.
11:57Of course I do.
12:00But you are a woman.
12:02I am a man.
12:03This is the way of things, now.
12:14Is it really so awful, the thought of it?
12:17The idea of it?
12:19Is it so high a price to pay for what I am offering?
12:23You do understand what I am offering.
12:25You must never know.
12:44I am a woman.
13:00Like you said.
13:01So where should we do it?
13:02Should we do it here?
13:04Or in the bedroom?
13:05You have to be delicate.
13:06Do you understand?
13:07Get dressed.
13:07Why?
13:10Have you changed your mind?
13:11You're so dressed.
13:15The princess.
13:20Yes, I'll speak to the emperor.
13:30Forgive my sinful mind, my temptation.
13:34I walked to the edge, but I didn't go over it, didn't you?
13:37You pulled me back, and I commend myself to you.
13:44I know your destiny is right.
13:47Perhaps in your divine wisdom, you felt you'd given me too much already.
13:51Terraria was a success.
13:52I feel the next one will be too, and I am grateful.
13:57I'm so grateful.
14:03And I commend myself to you.
14:06To purity.
14:07This ends now.
14:11Swept.
14:13Swept.
14:18Swept.
14:25Swept.
14:25Dear Wolfgang, I write to you now as a father,
14:50a position which I understand you are soon to occupy yourself.
14:54I have great concerns about you and much that we need to talk about.
14:58I wonder if you will now understand this better once...
15:01It looks like a tomato.
15:23Oh.
15:27Has he said anything yet?
15:29Erm, no.
15:30No.
15:31Very rude, John.
15:33Very rude.
15:34How was it?
15:36I shit myself.
15:38What are you trying to write?
15:52Pardon?
15:53What are you trying to write?
15:55A mass.
15:56A mass?
15:57Yes, you know.
15:58A celebration.
15:59For what?
16:00For becoming a father.
16:02Oh.
16:03And how is that going?
16:06About as well as this fucking mess.
16:10Why can't you just sit and be a film again?
16:31Dear Wolfgang, I have concerns about you and much that we need to talk about.
16:35I hear you've been making a spectacle of yourself.
16:38I hear hardly anything of your talent.
16:40And I hear even less of your success.
16:42You embarrass our good name.
16:43A child masquerading as a composer.
16:45Outstanding arrogance.
16:46To think you know better than your own father.
16:47The years your mother and I spent on you.
16:49You trained for so long.
16:50So hard.
16:51You must listen to me.
16:52Insolent fool.
16:53Abject face.
16:54Salvage your reputation.
16:55Come back to Sonson.
16:56Return home.
16:57Come back.
16:58It's too late.
17:08It's Harkato.
17:09It's too late.
17:10It's too late.
17:11It's too late.
17:12It's too late.
17:13It's too late.
17:14It's too late.
17:15It's too late.
17:16It's too late.
17:17It's too late.
17:18It's too late.
17:19It's too late.
17:20It's too late.
17:21It's too late.
17:22It's too late.
17:23It's too late.
17:24It's too late.
17:25It's too late.
17:26It's too late.
17:27It's too late.
17:28It's too late.
17:29It's too late.
17:30It's too late.
17:31It's too late.
17:32It's too late.
17:33It's too late.
17:34It's too late.
17:35It's too late.
17:36It's too late.
17:37It's too late.
17:38there. Let's have a look at you. I do love you. I think I do. I think that's what this
18:02is. Do you feel loved? Eh? Can I ask you a question? Do you like me to love you, Raymond? No,
18:16I'm just asking. Just asking. All you do is piss and shit and suck on my wife's tits. You
18:27stole my act. Why can't I finish your fucking mass, Raymond?
18:57Yes, well, there we go. A noble attempt, your highness. Um, might I suggest- I don't care
19:02for it. I'm sorry? Music. Ah, yes, I wondered if that might be the problem. Would you like
19:14to, um, sit next to me on the stool? Of course. The last teacher I had was even younger than
19:27you. Used to, um, rub himself onto the clavicle as I played. Did he? Yes. He put a finger
19:39inside me once. My father found out and had his hand cut off. That was just before I
19:48sent to live here. Shall we, uh, start again from the top? Well, we can start from whichever
20:00end you like, Mozart. Very good. Fucking hell. Okay, your highness. Whenever you're ready.
20:10I'm just going to, uh, watch from over here.
20:15The opportunities I lost. The time I spent. Come back to Salzburg. You cannot continue to ignore
20:31me, Wolfgang. Come back to Salzburg. You must listen to me. Fight! Then I'll shut you up.
20:36Stanza! Pack your trunk. We're going away. Where? Salzburg. He used to feed every two
20:46hours or so, but it's been going down lately. Her night he used to sleep quite badly. He
20:50needs his bed clothes cleaned. Child, I've raised four girls. I think we can look after a baby.
20:54Well, this one has a cock, so don't get startled and chop it off by mistake. We'll write you
20:57when we get there and we don't find a stadium at the end of the month. Off we go. Enough laughing.
21:01Bye, Raymond. Sometimes just you and me. We have this small goat lying between us. Kicking
21:14us with his tiny hooves. Do us good, I think. Don't talk about him like that. It was a joke.
21:23Mozart had taken you, his beautiful wife, on a sojourn away from the city. And in his
21:29absence, the piano was mine once again. I released my newest opera, La Scuola de Gelosi,
21:36to great acclaim.
21:37To great acclaim.
21:38To great acclaim.
21:43Ladies and gentlemen, this fave it.
21:46God, he's sweet young mansecretary to be here.
21:48There is just one terminus of opera tonight today.
21:49Wait a minute.
21:50When the Orleans and servings have begun to enter.
21:55Also replace saying.
21:58This бег owned by a man's elle's house.
22:03What's happening in line with life first?
22:08Na hum, it's like a stupid man toi!
22:09It was such a hit, in fact, that my librettist De Ponte and I even considered a sequel.
22:36The idea was abandoned, but offered to another composer who reworked it into a new piece.
22:41You'll know it by the name Cosifantuti, but then I tried not to dwell on such detail.
22:48For a while, I revelled in my success and position, as if nothing had ever changed.
22:55Little did I know what was coming.
23:01This is where you grew up?
23:03Would Master Wolfgang care for some supper, perhaps?
23:08Or would Sir prefer to go straight to his bedchamers?
23:14Straight to the bedchamers, please, Floyd.
23:16Very good, sir.
23:17Very good, sir.
23:46Good morning, Florian.
23:47Good morning, Master Wolfgang.
23:48Where is my father?
23:49Left early this morning, sir.
23:50He expects to return in a day or two.
23:51You told him that we arrived last night, yes?
23:52Oh, indeed, yes, sir.
23:53Very good.
23:54Very good.
23:55Very good.
23:57Good morning, sir.
23:58Good morning, Master Wolfgang.
23:59Where is my father?
24:00Left early this morning, sir.
24:01He expects to return in a day or two.
24:02You told him that we arrived last night, yes?
24:04Oh, indeed, yes, sir.
24:05Very good.
24:07Very good.
24:09Very good.
24:37First piece I ever wrote.
25:03The piano I wrote it on.
25:07Well, where's your father?
25:10Gone somewhere for a few days, I don't know.
25:14But he knows we've arrived.
25:17Yes, he does.
25:37Hello?
26:02hello good to see you you too we're having chicken we've been here for three days
26:13i had business out of town well you knew we were coming where's your wife getting changed

26:30hear that i hear you've been very busy i hear you drink i hear you throw lavish parties i hear you've
26:37been making a spectacle of yourself or am i wrong too many notes don't think that didn't filter
26:43i does not know anything about music does he is this cognac brandy take anything at this point
26:51my greatest fear when he left salzburg was that this would happen that what would happen
26:56that you would squander your gift squandering anything teaching the princess piano did you
27:03not know about that thought you'd be impressed that's one hour of your week accounted for
27:07what of the rest why do i not hear any tales of triumph and glory just stories of an insolent fool
27:15dancing around an apartment he can barely afford with some pauper's daughter on his arm
27:19and mozart you should call me papa your father is dead he won't mind my mother also forbade the
27:32wedding by the way he weren't the only one she did attend it though you think me rude what would you
27:39call it i'm a straightforward man i don't feign enthusiasm where i do not feel any i don't
27:45send regards where i do not feel they are warranted how is my grandson
27:54wolfgang he cries when he doesn't get exactly what he wants
27:57pays no attention to anyone else's feelings needs or desires so we can be sure he's a Mozart at least
28:07i'm glad to finally met you i told you vienna would not be impressed with your frivolities
28:12oh you think the imperial opera indulges nonsense an opera set in a whorehouse that was your grand
28:20entrance yes was it worth it for you to get a dressing down on stage from the emperor in front of
28:26everybody was that what we were working so hard towards all those years all those miles
28:32i'm talking to you yes what about a follow-up i assume you have plans to try and salvage your
28:43reputation i've written hundreds of things i write every day father don't worry thank you very much
28:49looking forward to the chicken what about a follow-up then well obviously i have been a little bit
28:54distracted i have a basset hound who i'm trying to train he can follow basic commands except for
29:00when he sees a pigeon when he completely forgets what he was doing and sits there drooling slightly
29:05like forgiveness because he's an imbecile and he is a basset hound but you are not a basset hound
29:11wolfgang your ears are not long and soft you do not have a rounded muzzle or a glossy coat you are a man
29:19something colorful should be able to float into view without knocking every last intelligent thought
29:28from your mind grow up you're distracted no one cares your first opera was a failure you haven't
29:34written a second one that should alarm you as much as it does me what's his name what the basset hound
29:41gregor well that's a bit of a silly name papa well wolfgang was already taken
29:46you are throwing away the gift that god gave you not you as well wolfgang they're my gifts
30:00so they're mine to do what i want with no they are not you tell him maybe he'll listen to you
30:10people have died for your tans beg your pardon your mother is in the ground
30:17no flowers on her grave no mourners to tend it left to rot in a cold corner of a parisian church
30:24500 miles away from home because you she was ill she was ill and you didn't send for me
30:33it's not true it's true it's true it's true and you know it's true and you can drink and whore and
30:47play as loud as you can but you know she stands in the dark and watches you and she weeps at what
30:53you're doing with the gift that she gave her life for you selfish little bastard
31:06why do you behave like that why
31:24like what off game like the great amadeus mozart who teaches piano to princesses and writes ditties for

37:16I've never seen anybody sleep like this.
37:19What am I supposed to do?

40:15Well, now he's taken our son.
40:19Maybe we can speak back.
40:25And if it's in your voice, I think you might hear it.

44:22Thank you for showing me what you are.
44:25You gave me the desire to praise you
44:27and then made me mute.
44:32You put into me the perception of the incomparable
44:35and then ensured that I would know myself forever mediocre.
44:45Why?
44:45What have I ever done to you?
44:51Straight from the path, I came back to you.
44:53I came back to you.
44:53I promised myself to you to piety.
44:57I have only ever pursued virtue with rigor.
45:01I have worked.
45:03And I have worked with the talents you allowed me.
45:06Surely that in the end, in the practice of the art that alone makes the world comprehensible to me,
45:11I might hear your voice.
45:16Well, now I do hear it.
45:23Well, it says only one name.
45:26And it's not mine.
45:27You chose him.
45:30A foul, spiteful, shit-talking bastard.
45:35It must have to be your soul conduit.
45:37And my, my sublime pleasure is to be the one man alive in this time
45:41that can clearly recognize your incarnation.
45:44You give me just enough talent to know how little I truly possess.
45:48It's a wonderful job.
46:11So be it.
46:12From this time on, we are enemies.
46:21You and I are not accepted, friend.
46:25You are won't.
46:28They say God is not mocked.
46:30I tell you, not.
46:31I tell you, I am not mocked.
46:38You are the enemy.
46:39I name thee now, and this, I swear, to my last breath,
46:47I will block you on this earth.
46:50I will block you and your vessel as far as I am able.
46:57Diminish the man.
46:59Diminish the God.
47:06Kill the man.
47:07Kill the God.
