The Red Violin is a lovely film that follows an unusual instrument over centuries and owners. One of my favorite parts is the scene with Jason Flemyng and Greta Scacchi, where he plays a brilliant new piece after their tryst in his dressing room. This movie is full of brilliant moments, and the sad sense of a long history that weaves through so many lives.

...And the soundtrack is most excellent (by no means recalling classic 80s comedies with Keanu). John Corigliano, though an asshole in person, is quite possibly one of the best composers alive. It's a shame that he isn't asked to compose more film scores, but, perhaps that may be due to the fact that his film scores don't manipulate and only underscore and happen to be gorgeous pieces outside of the scope of the film... The Red Violin score by itself is probably better than most of his stand-alone pieces, I think. ###end dorkiness###
