Miloš Forman’s Amadeus is cited by the director at the end. “To me, it’s the perfect biopic. A biopic is an extremely difficult exercise because we’re being lied to by the facts. But really, we’re writing fairy tales, we’re not here to write the facts. The facts are never enough. Amadeus is the evidence. We get the facts, yes, but there’s a performance at the heart of it all.emphasizes the director.
It is the perfect biopic. A biopic is an extremely difficult exercise because the facts lie to us.
