THE RED VIOLIN * (Theatrical Release USA 1999)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì

The Red Violin—classic entertainment—is intriguing and saturates itself with a decidedly European flavor throughout its story. Samuel L. Jackson plays a quite different role in this film and as usual gives it his best. His supporting cast helps move the story along in a flowing way that is well received. It is a well-done story.
