Both Bronwen and I liked this film about love, parents and children, music, and passion. It is a very humane, rich, and fascinating non-linear study that follows a violin from creation during the 17th century in Italy to its latest sale at auction in Canada. The film travels, with the violin, around the globe. The instrument is fated, if you will, to connect to people who can appreciate its value but also to change their lives in profound ways. The filmmaker also did the wonderful “37 Short Films About Glenn Gould,” and he returns to this theme of music, passion, love, and internal distance. A fine, romantic, powerfully emotional film. Great violin work on the soundtrack by Joshua Bell. We saw him as a child prodigy at Lincoln Center about 10 years ago. Really nice work by all the actors although, surprisingly, I found the usually wonderful Samuel L Jackson the weakest of this group
