Worth seeing again!

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 1999)

I've been surprised by the numerous negative reviews I've seen of this film, which was spellbinding. It was not flawless--what is?--but it is wonderfully engaging in addition to having gorgeous music and beautiful cinematography. There are so many films I won't even bother to see, on the grounds they aren't worth $7, and I'd rather wait for the video! This is one I am eager to see again, to further appreciate the nuances of the violin's travels. A grand, entertaining film built with a great deal of cleverness around the theme of passion, with an ending of truly poetic justice.
