The Red Violin Movie Review by Derek_Fleek

“The Red Violin” stars an universal cast including Samuel L. Jackson, Greta Scacchi, Jason Flemyng and Don McKellar. It’s directed and partially written by François Giard with Don McKellar responsible for some intelligent scripting.

A perfectly manufactured red-colored violin touches everyone it encounters. The violin stirs up passion, greed, and obsession during it’s centuries old journey from one hand to the next. It finally reaches a Montreal auction house where an admirer of antique musical instruments (Samuel L. Jackson) discovers the long lost masterpiece and must struggle with his own obsession.

It is rather tedious, yet critically strong in most aspects of film-making including solid direction. This helps me respect the film much more than I enjoyed it. The film relies on its magnificent violin playing, well-told story, strong direction and genuine performances to guide it to the end with style and grace. This isn’t quite my type of movie, but I am certainly glad to have the opportunity to experience this truly fascinating journey. Being a film I wasn’t too eager to see, I was surprised at how engrossing the result turned out to be.

This is a movie you can’t deny from being a well-made and throughly enthralling experience. Even if it does have a slow approach, the film manages to grab you from beginning to end. I actually had a growing bond with this certain violin complete with feelings, care, and attachment towards it. That makes this film effective in its own unique manner. I gained more care for this manufactured instrument more than the characters in the film. Not to say that I didn’t care about the characters, I was just more attached to the violin than the characters themselves.

The film succeeds in being an unforgettable and spellbinding undergo into the world of obsession. A walk through the most desired evil known as greed. It is definitely something worth seeing with the expense of preparing for a somewhat slow, yet tantalizing experience into a seductive realm created by a perfected work of art known as “The Red Violin”. 4/5 stars
