A beautiful film, with excellent direction, stunning photography and a score that mirrors the images we see perfectly. The film itself takes us from the origins of a special red violin through the centuries it survived and the people whose lives it affected. A story of how a love for something can overcome any adversary, and how music can inspire such passions in so many different cultures and people. Highly recommended. < less
