[The red violin]
|
THE SCENE is an up-scale auction house in
Montreal; the time is the present. The auctioneer
(Colm Feore) has come to the final item available:
"Here she is now, lot 72 the so called Red
Violin.'"
The bidding starts, the camera pans around the
small, crowded room, the faces of the anxious bidders
fill the screen, and the price of this 300-year-old
instrument begins to soar. Over and over again in The
Red Violin, the auction scene is replayed as the story of
the journey of this instrument through three centuries and
five countries is revealed.
