Excels beyond finer celluloid fare, and most certainly, ambitious.
...but you have to be 'ready' and 'comfortable' for this film. I like 'weymo's' commentary from Atlanta: "...the perfect movie for a rainy autumn Sunday afternoon when everything is quiet but the popping of the fire and the creaking of your favorite easy chair." ...well said. And "courage" to Francois Girard and Don McKellar for making the effort to put us in that perfect spot. But as Dylan Thomas once said - and Bob Dylan echoed many years later - "Do not go gentle into that good night...(Mr Taborine Man)", or you will find yourself wanting. Having said that, pay attention to the real plot: WHAT MADE Le Violon "rouge"? Why, blood, sweat and tears of course -- particularly, the foremost. And it wasn't without a bit of hand-crafted genius from Nicolo Bussotti...such trade sorely lacking, these days, I'm afraid.
Go beyond yourself; take a step into the mysterious - see the film, and think about 'another world' right here on your own planet Earth, with all it's failures - and serendipities. We DO produce some good 'bling' from time-to-time.
...and I only 'tune' computers.
