Title: beautiful music, awful movie
Product review: The music is superb in this movie. I give you that. But the movie is simply downright awful. To me this movie is about a man who becomes obsessed with the viola da gamba to escape the pains caused by the death of his wife. His obsession not surprisingly drives hime to be utterly self-centered and bizarre. He is a monster who abuses and neglects his whole family to focus only on himself. He wasn't making music for us or for the world ... he was making music for himself but by luck his music making is also enjoyable to our ears. Otherwise most of us would recommend that he be locked up in an insane asylum.If one were asked what makes a French film a stereotypical bad French film, one feature pops into my mind: pretentious philosophical babbling. And this film delivers a bucket full of it. Ugh.Get the soundtrack. Forget about this movie. This is my honest opinion.
