In this clip from Oscar-winning masterpiece Amadeus, a drunken Mozart is visited by a mysterious figure cloaked in black, who commissions him to write a Requiem Mass for a man who deserved one but never received it. Urging secrecy and speed, the visitor vanishes, leaving Mozart unaware of the true intentions behind the request.
The scene then shifts to an aging Salieri, reflecting on his chillingly simple yet terrifying plan. A funeral, a requiem, and divine music in the silence-yet he struggles with the weight of making it a reality.
A haunting moment from Amadeus, a film that masterfully explores genius, rivalry, and fate.
