Milos Forman’s Amadeus is arriving on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray next month for the first time, and more details are here.
Just over 40 years since it first debuted, the terrific Amadeus is now enjoying a 4K restoration, as it heads to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time. And it’s landing next month as well.
The winner of eight Oscars, including the big one, the movie stars Tom Hulce and F Murray Abraham, and it’s directed by the late Milos Forman. It’s the film that follows the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, played by Hulce, and his rivalry with Abraham’s Antonio Salieri.
Adapted from the play by Peter Schaffer – and he penned the screenplay himself – the resultant film comfortable stands the test of time. Mind you, you can check that out for yourself when the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray lands on 24th February.
It’s going to be available in two different flavours. For those of us on a more frugal budget, there’s a standard release that you can find here.
That includes just the 4K disc, and a couple of extra features.
Then there’s the more expensive Steelbook collector’s edition, that’s listed here. At heart, you’re getting the same disc to my eyes, just with posher packaging and whatnot. There certainly doesn’t look like any material difference to the disc side of things.
Both are up for preorder now. It’s the original theatrical cut of the movie that we get on both versions of the release.
The synopsis for the film meanwhile reads as follows…
Gripping human drama. Sumptuous period epic. Glorious celebration of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This marvelous winner of eight Academy Awards portrays the rivalry between the genius Mozart (Tom Hulce) and the jealous court composer (Best Actor Oscar Winner F. Murray Abraham) who may have ruined Mozart’s career and shortened his life.
Our 4K release list has been updated, here.
