Description: “Mozart and Salieri” is one of the few literary subjects, in which momentous passions flare up, and, at the same time (in the author’s view), it is totally devoid of erotica. Comparable is “Karlssononthe-roof”. The film’s technique is the animation of clothing “without people”. The behavior of clothing when there is no person inside them differs significantly from their behaviour when on people. Everything is black-and-white.“Mozart and Salieri” is Episode 2 from the series “Life and Adventures of WHITES and BLACKS”.
