Additional InformationFollowing the unusual journey of an original and unique violin (painted red with the blood of his beloved and deceased wife), as it survives three centuries to a present-day auction in Montreal. The violin weaves a Svengali over all those who play it and becomes the subject of passion, deception and destruction. It passes through the hands of traveling Gypsies, a famous concert violinist in England to near-confiscation in Communist China, the violin manages to survive the different lives of those it touches.In present day it again becomes the subject of fascination for a violin historian, played by Samuel L. Jackson. On discovering that he has stumbled upon the much sought after 'Red Violin', he considers instigating a deception of his own kind.

  • The maybe history of Amati

    Filmed in different countries, at the beginning we can see some views of Cremona, cities of Nicolo Amati and Antonio Stradivari. It is a kind of "suspense" film that begins by the auctions of various violins, and the Red one (Nicolo painted it with red colour and blood). Too many flashbacks but interesting to see the auctions and the history of this violin. The actors are great and we are moved by the history, decors and costumes.

  • One for good story lovers.

    Hugely enjoyable film. The life of a violin through the many human lives of the various owners. Great concept like ' The Yellow Rolls Royce ' or 'The Green Accordian'
