Fairy tale for grown ups. Go see it!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 1999)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It has something for everybody. The red violin remains an intense object of desire which unifies the diverse episodes, which range from renaissance Italy to modern day China.
I particularly appreciated the way three simultaneous stories are told ; you keep coming back to the beginning and to the end, while watching what happens in the middle. A really accomplished tour de force.
