what a fucking good movie! it's the best argument for atheism i've come across in years. the shots of him using the pool table as a desk, rolling the ball around the sides of the table as the rhythm for his work is MARVELOUSLY PROFANE. so fucking good. and watching the agony of god's most faithful servant.
mozart himself is kind of a simple character, but i guess that's what the movie asks of him. be a "bawdy imp," as the summary on the back puts it, and god's mouthpiece—just a thing to most perfectly enrage saliere, or whatever his name is. moz's wife's actually kind of a good character; her voice is so weirdly familiar somehow.
i mean, apart from that, it's got pretty good tunes. i didn't realize opera used to be a good time. i saw the magic flute once and it was an unspeakably boring experience.
