A successful co-production?!

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2004)

A film in four different languages married by a timeless theme trancends barriers never before touched by large scale global co-production (well, european). Normally these sort of multi-country produced films end up being a mish-mash of various different tastes and styles, not knowing which country to lay its routes in. The Red Violin however is unique in its capturing and execution of a spellbinding story through the great divide, which is the multilingual european community. Its success lies in its focus on simply telling the story and weighing in with some delightful time-line editing. A rip roaring, eloquently woven masterpiece...
