A Note Above the Rest

Rating: Null/10 (27 October 1999)

Like an orchestral maneuver this movie winds around you until you are caught up in its glory and powerless to escape its emotional intensity. It is wonderful. The film follows the path of a violin through the years as it makes its way through five different stories and many different lives. Unfortunately the transitions are not always smooth so you must pay attention but it is oh, so worth it. A moving piece of cinematic excellence.
