  Victor,

  I really wanted to like "the Red Violin". It seems at first to have everything: a sweeping panorama of 300 years of music history, machincations, violence, grief, greed, intrigue, romance- even an exciting slow taxi ride to an instrument auction, but it simultaneously it's drippy sentimental and more like a loose sequence of contrived goofy vignettes. The climatic auction and the revelation of why the violin is red are just not enough. Violins do produce strong feelings in a quite small number of people, and the concept of trying top make an exciting, dramatic epic about a violin is doomed to these contrivances of heightened cirmstances.

  "The Red Violin" should have been an ABC miniseries called, "Strung Out: Obsession, Greed, and Murder for no Particular Reason".

  Deciding on wherther to apply "Ka ka" or "Ca ca" to it will be the least worry!

  Cheers,

  Bam

  But it was for my son - "Spiderman", so no biggie. Not too bad a track record given the number I've received.

  I third the sentiment for Red Violin. At least they made the effort, but just didn't have the chops.
