I originally saw Amadeus a long time ago on VHS. Most people might consider it boring, but I enjoyed it a lot. And then I read a review on the Director's Cut. The reviewer enjoyed the Director's Cut, but had a tiny problem with it: the reveal that Amadeus had had sex with Katerina.
In the original version, Antonio discovers that Amadeus had sex with Katerina when Constanze is introduced and Mozart smiles and laughs uncomfortably while looking at Katerina. In the Director's Cut, Antonio only realizes it later when he goes to Katerina's dressing room. The reviewer alleges that there's a greater "emotional impact" in the original version when Antonio realizes the affair sooner instead of waiting until the dressing room scene. I thought this, too. Unfortunately, I can't find the review anymore...
Has anyone done a fan cut of Amadeus?
