The Red Violin chronicles the long and exciting journey of the last violin made by a famous Italian instrument maker. The idea of the "best" violin hand-crafted by a master hundreds of years ago immediately made me think of Antonio Stradivari.

What amazed me is that, both in real life and in the movie, people (often musicians) have the utmost desire to ...
