Apollo to screen 'Amadeus'

Apollo Theatre, 311 Main St., will screen the 1984 film "Amadeus" at 7 p.m. Saturday.

the movie is filmmaker Milos Forman's drama about composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. it was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, and won in eight categories, including best Actor for F. Murray Abraham, best Screenplay, best Director and best Picture.

told in flashback by Antonio Salieri (Abraham), now confined to an insane asylum, the plot recounts Mozart's rise to success and Salieri's jealousy. Salieri thinks Mozart's music is divine but can't understand why God favored Mozart, a vulgar man, to be his instrument. Salieri's envy has made him unstable, a fellow composer thinking of revenge.

the movie co-stars Tom Hulce as Mozart and features Christine Ebersole, Jeffrey Jones, Kenny Baker and Cynthia Nixon.
