I adore everything about this film, except for the ending
21 November 2022
It's a pure delight to follow the path of the Red Violin from its creation, as well as to watch the way she touches people's lives throughout the centuries and leaves her mark on them. The music, the cinematography, the acting were all beyond brilliant. While there are some unbelievable moments (the violin would've lost her red colour very quickly), I have no problem ignoring those moments and simply enjoy the ride. My only problem is the ending. I wish it was different.

They just don't write stories like this any longer, let alone build them so beautifully (the tarot part and other flashbacks of the past, for example). You watch films like this one and wonder where all these brilliant writers have disappeared.
