I caught this on the HBO last week. Starring Samuel Jackson.....about the adventures of a violin built back in the 1600's or so (varnished with a mix of varnish and......)from the wife of it's Luthier. Samuel is a collector in current time seeking the red vioin. THe movie reverts back and forth to different times and owners thru the centuries....ending up in a current auction in NY I think. Very artsy, romantic, sexy, mysterious...well worth catching or even buy the DVD if you can find it.

10 thumbs up. [icon904]

Just to make you more interested, what made the violin red was the blood of the Luthiers dead wife mixed into the varnish he finished this one of a kind masterpiece. He loved her so much he wanted to immortalize her thru his craft. The brush he painted it with was made of her hair. WOW!

Ummm, should be a nice color I guess. I have a hard time sitting through floofy movies but I have to admit that some of them end up being outstanding.

It is weird but in a romantic way. This violin ended up "selling" for more than a Strad of nearly the same age.......about 400 years. It was on again last night. -

Sorry I missed it. [Wink] Weird in a romantic way sounds like it might be able to keep my attention long enough to watch.
