The lack of performing arts events during this time of shuttered concert halls has brought its own silver lining: the opportunity, indeed, the hunger, to revisit films that incorporate the classical music world and/or its instruments. And you know, reader, which instrument to which I am most partial, right? Step in François Girard’s The Red Violin.
I’d forgotten how much I love movies, evocative, romantic ones with global settings (and please, not much violence) that cast a spell on me. The Red Violin, in particular, was so much fun to watch again. I needed the break from reality and I miss classical music events and the performing arts like mad. I love stories you can sink yourself into, and when the main character in a movie is a violin, and is well done, I’m all over it.
The Red Violin can be divided into three sections. First, it’s a picaresque that features the violin as the story’s main character. Which, I know, sounds strange. Humor me as I explain. In the film’s first story-within-a-story, set in 17th century Italy, we encounter Anna, the pregnant wife of esteemed luthier Nicolo Bussotti. Anna asks a servant, the wise but spooky Cesca, to read her future, us

The Red Violin
In anticipation of the birth of his first child, master violinmaker Nicolo Bussotti begins what will be his greatest achievement.

The Red Violin
This captivating film revolves around a remarkable red violin crafted in by the esteemed Cremonese violinmaker, Nicolo Bussotti, in anticipation of his child’s arrival. The story unfolds through a series of episodes intricately tied together by the fortune-telling of a servant woman named Cesca, who reads tarot cards meant for Nicolo’s expectant wife, Anna. Surprisingly, the cards do not forecast Anna’s destiny but rather the violin’s tumultuous journey.
As the narrative progresses, we learn that this violin will become Nicolo’s final masterpiece—a beautifully intricate instrument possessing unparalleled resonance across all its sound characteristics. Tragically, after the death of his beloved Anna during childbirth, Nicolo finishes the violin, using secret ingredients that impart its striking red hue.
A pivotal moment in the film is the auction of the Red Violin at the Duval auction house in Canada. From there, we follow the violin’s fascinating history as it changes hands repeatedly. Initially, it finds itself in an Austrian monastery, where it is played by young talents, including a gifted six-year-old named Kaspar Weiss, who receives guidanc
