I just had to come back and give this another half a star. The viewing circumstances kinda require that. Sunday evening, movie quiz in a nearby bar Alvar (the building was designed by Alvar Aalto), shared first place for our team Twin Geeks, my son and me. Such a fun evening, crowned by us both wanting to watch this particular movie. I had seen it before decades ago, rewatch was long overdue. We're both very fond of Billy Wilder and this is one of the essentials. More goodies soon, maybe Sunset Boulevard? How about it, son?

Amadeus 1984
Saw it once on video sometime in the nineties plus two times on the big screen: when it came out in 1984 and now 40 years later as a director's cut with my son. Best possible viewing companion adds even more to the pleasure of a great film. My son is responsible for me starting with Letterboxd. I've always liked recommending good movies to him and now it's more and more the other way round 😍
