What a borefest! The story comes together in the last few minutes after following the history of the red violin. Which is long and boring. The only part that was of any interest was why the red violin was red. Now that was cool, its SPOILER ALERT: blood of the creators wife.Wow, the rest of the story was just terrible! I wish I could get that time I watched the DVD back! Don't waste your money, get it at the library first if you really want to see this one. Its a miss in a huge way.
