As with most work associated with Don McKellar, the Red Violin surprises and entertains. McKellar is under-rated with most of his effort, but I have found all of his work that I have been exposed to, to be not only entertaining but very thought provoking and human.
I first saw the movie in theatre and bought the DVD the first time I saw it available. I've lent it to a friend who refuses to return it he liked it so much.
If you liked this, check out Last Night, another McKellar movie. A truly "end of the world" movie where the world actually ends, unlike most Hollywood flicks where someone always saves the day, like Armageddon, which was release around the same time.
