		Finally, the violin finds the shores of Canada where it is to be auctioned off as part of a collection saved from the Cultural Revolution by a music teacher who knows the difference between western art and corruption.
		The violins present in the soundtrack are wonderfully employed, and the different musical styles used to represent different times and places throughout the film provide a welcome break from the use of a single theme, which was a second option the composer could have used.

		The RED VIOLIN centers around a violin crafted in 17th century Cremona, Italy and haunted (or possessed) by the soul of the craftsman's dead wife, Anna.
		Moving between delicacy and savagery, THE RED VIOLIN is quite intense and the beauty and passion of the composition, along with the beauty and passion of Bell's performance, simply pull you into the music.
		While I adored the entire soundtrack, I especially loved the concluding piece, "The Red Violin Chaconne." All in all, THE RED VIOLIN is one of the most haunting, lyrical, brooding and romantic soundtracks I have ever heard...and each piece is given a virtuoso treatment by Joshua Bell.

	BIZ: "The Red Violin" Plays Passionately, without Resonance
		Because of the boy's brilliant talents, he moves to France with a music master, who is disapproving of the boys emotional dependency on the violin, and demands that the boy separate himself from the violin when not in the act of playing it.
		The violin is buried with the boy, yet it soon falls into the hands of grave diggers, and then into the hands of Frederick Pope (Jason Fleming) a Byronic violinist whose slinky and sexy stage presence and gorgeous, energetic playing have made him a star.
		Told with broad strokes, "The Red Violin" is a Euro-flavored art film that disregards subtlety - its characters are extra emotional, extra nuanced -- and it's full of hyperbole and passion but it lacks depth in character.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Red Violin" review (2003) Francois Girard, Samuel L. Jackson
		The resourcefully framed story of a violin set adrift in time begins in modern Montreal where the tattered yet still magnificent instrument is being sold at auction, with emotional bids ardently exchanged by several interested parties.
		This passage is clearly the Red Violin's own childhood and after it is carried off by gypsies in an inventive montage of generations of nomadic musicians, it becomes the property of Frederick Pope (Jason Flemyng), a rakish, aristocratic English virtuoso whose playing becomes a thing of unmistakably sensual fervency upon his acquisition of the instrument.
		Girard skimps nowhere in bringing the Red Violin to life through those whose lives are affected by its enigmatic perfection.

		The Red Violin follows the life of a red violin (duh) over three hundred years, and chronicles the stories of the people that it encounters.
		As time moves on, the violin travels to an orphage in Vienna, a concert house in England, China in the midst of the Cultural Revolution, and to a present day auction house in Montreal.
		Overall, if some time was sliced off of each story, and of the entire 2 hours plus running time, the life of the red violin could have been much more compelling.
