Multilingual Symphony...

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 1999)

Plot: An astounding journey through time and space, tells the story of a mystical red violin, unveiling the hidden secrets of it's past and what is yet to come.
Review: Journey upon the path of destiny from the heart of Europe and into Red China to Montreal in modern days, tracing history and culture. From sorrow and grief, the mystical violin sprouts. However, every hand it lands in offers glimpses of the many facets of beauty ( lust, passion, freedom... ). A unique intertwined script ( witty, and realistically illustrated by the five languages used ranging from Mandarin to English ) portrayed by a talented cast of actors spanning the globe and garnished by fabulous sets and costumes along an inspiring musical score create a rich feast to delight senses, mind and soul. ( No wonder it won various prizes at the "Genie Awards", "Jutra Awards" as well as the "Tokyo International Film Festival! )
