Umm... no

Rating: 1/10 (25 September 1999)

Okay, I'm sorry - maybe I'm not 'artistic' enough, or maybe violinists know something I don't... but I couldn't get the LEAST bit attached to the Red Violin. The ending, which revealed the secret power of the aforementioned instrument, was simply irrelevant after the loooong history was disclosed.
The historical perspectives of different eras and locations in the world was mildly interesting but dragged on too far.
And I even regret to say this, as I am a DEVOTED Samuel Jackson fan, but this movie was so slow and uninspiring that even his performance was entirely lackluster and disappointing.
