if you haven't seen amadeus in a while you really ought to watch amadeus again
by the way, the theatrical version was just restored and re-released this year, which is better than the director's cut, which has been the only ubiquitous way to experience the film for over 20 years
one entirely unnecessary scene: going and talking to opera singer in her dressing room where she rehashes an attitude and a vibe we already fully understand, like the audience is too dumb to get what was going on
the primary and longest unnecessary scene: salieri pretending to #metoo constanze, leading to her getting her boobs out and then he embarrasses her by sending her away, solely responsible for making the film R-rated and feels unnecessarily risky and out of character for salieri at that point in his life/rivalry
