Magnificent! The most heartfelt and ambitious film I've seen in years!!

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 1999)

I operate an Art Theater in Central Illinois that has just finished a run of The Red Violin. We had to hold it over for three weeks because the response from our patrons was astounding!
Too many times certain so-called 'critics' forget what it is a movie is even supposed to accomplish. These poseurs get so wrapped up in their petty arguments over artistic motive, they often fail to see true genius in front of them!
"The Red Violin" is a perfectly textured masterwork of the first order! From its incredible music score, to its fantastic art direction, to its flawless performances from an International cast; this is a DON'T MISS experience!
See it on a MOVIE screen; don't wait for home video to blur its pristine images!
My highest compliments to all the persons involved with making such a wonderful and heartfelt film!
I didn't want it to ever leave my theater!
