We had a poor copy of this film, but it was beautiful just the same. The
Red Violin starts with the auction on the beautiful violin and then travels
through time to follow the violin's path to the auction house. Along the way,
we find out why each of the bidders wants the violin. Every potential owner has
a need because of the power and influence the violin had over their (or
their hero's) life. The violin is it's own character, beguiling and intense. It
lures people to it and helps them realize their dreams. But nobody escapes their
time with the violin unscathed. While some might say that the violin brings
destruction, I believe that it brings comfort and stability during trying
times.
The Red Violin's score has to be mentioned. Each time period has it's
own sound and vision. Beautiful. And the cinematography captures the story
while making the setting another character. A great film, not exciting, but
lovely and meaningful.
