    Excellent period setting perfectly complementing music score.
    The scenery the music the violins fit together perfectly. Great selection of music pieces, La Folia is perfect to begin with it makes perfect sense as having captivated young Stradivari. Soundtrack is outstanding as playing by Salvatore Accardo. Enjoyable feast for the eyes and ears, despite atrocious screenwriter production. Very disjointed storyline. I give 9 to the visual and sound and no more than 2 to the screenwriter. Sort of baroque violin music video, rather than a film.
