Very interesting seeing all the lifetimes connected by that violin.
A good story about the strange travel of a violin
Emotionally evocative piece detailing the history and legacy of a very interesting instrument. I loved this movie!
Cross stories moves are often difficult to make sense and keep the audience attention all the way though, this one is a winner
this is a classic of american cinema. weaves multiple vignettes into one cohesive structure that will definitely grab your attention
One of those movies to remember forever😀
Unique film following the "life" of a violin over several lifetimes.
One of the few movies that I watched over ten times
Something missing in movie, like makes you think " it could be better ", but overall nice directed and acted.
Terribly underrated. It was never boring and managed to entertain me and keep me on my toes
