No musician I, but this was right good.

Actually, in places in was moving.
I am a sucker for well-laid on period pieces, which this was in force, as well as "exotic" locales, so I was already softened up. Going beyond the obvious, this was also an unusual love affair of sorts in the present day, developing the human side of an otherwise unpleasant "hero."
I saw it twice in theatre, and was surprised at the number of things missed the first time. THE RED VIOLIN is a must for fans of historical drama as well as the grip of the arts on human emotion.
