'The Red Violin', directed by François Girard, is a dramatic multi-lingual extravaganza. It spans four centuries, five languages and five countries as it tells the story of a mysterious violin and its life of passion and danger with owners including monks, aristocrats, gypsies and revolutionaries. The film was an international co-production between companies in Canada, Italy and the United Kingdom, starring Samuel L Jackson, Colm Feore, Greta Scacchi, and Sandra Oh among others. It has won numerous awards, including an
Academy Award for Best Original Score and throughout the movie, the solos are played by noted violinist Joshua Bell.View the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3feDUcDRNAg
