Violin as continuity of a dream

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2001)

The value of a violin. What is it?
I was ready for a mildly interesting art flick, and came away very pleased. I loved the way the crafters of this film kept binding the whole together with the cords from start of the story. What is the value of a violin? The film follows the maker, Busotti, in 17th century Italy as he finishes his greatest work. As it turns out, it is his final creation. In it, he and the people he loved the most find a sort of immortality.
What is the value of a violin? What is the value of mankind?
