Possible spoilers; Bergen, Norway was right

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2002)

Possible spoilers: There are just too many connections between the different phases of this movie to be accidental. The explanation by the user from Bergen, Norway is right on. My wife and I had already come to some of the same conclusions on our own. Seeing "Vanilla Sky","The Others","Momento", and of course, "The Sixth Sense" has made us into good movie detectives. Similar to this movie, "The Red Violin" also presents you with conclusions that require a step back to see.
On the first viewing, I thought I rented "Twin Peaks" by accident. After watching the second time, the first phase of the movie is just too weird. Add it all up: A vulnerable woman in need of help; a favorable portrayal of the main character; romantic competition who has a run of unfortunate luck; and of course, a dwarf and cowboy.
For those people that still think the movie means nothing, try watching the 2nd half first. Lynch may be mad, but there is a method to it.
