Average Rating: 
Rating:  - an unusual biography
This is a perfect history and biography of a handcrafted violin; with all it's many contacts with the different people who entered its life. Superbly acted and filmed with an original score. A wonderful escape into a world very rarely glimpsed by the average human.
Rating: - Meridan Collection--Superb transfer to DVD
This review pertains to the June 2008 release of the Meridian Collection remastering of "The Red Violin". This well-crafted saga of how a priceless, one-of-a-kind violin is passed onto various owners over time and in several countries, has been beautifully remastered. Presented in anamorphic widescreen and enchanced for widescreen TVs (16x9 aspect ratio, no black bars--the picture fills the entire screen), the picture is crystal clear and the colors are fresh and vibrant.
