This is a great review of a great movie.

There’s one fun note at the end of the review that’s worth a second read:

Note: The restored Director’s Cut of “Amadeus” opens Friday at the Landmark Century, and is in revival around the country. The one brief scene of Constanze’s breasts, in medium-long shot, has inspired the flywheels at the MPAA to re-rate the movie R from its original PG. Thus high school students are discouraged from seeing this movie. Our rating system is held hostage by sick crypto-moralists. Surely PG-13 would have been adequate to advise parents of this scene, while acknowledging that anyone over 13 in America who is alarmed by the simple sight of a woman’s breasts is in need of counseling (I include our attorney general).

So true! Rating this movie R while “The Scorpion King” gets a PG-13 while chopping the heads off his victims is just plain insanity.
