This movie was awful! The only saving Grace was David Garrett, the violinist. He was by far, the best I have ever heard! Jared Harris, was given a sub standard role, and did his best, but the character sucked big time. It meandered around, and went no where really. I kept fast forwarding it to the music parts! And...and... The best opera voice ever, via Andrea Deck. She is amazing! She plays Charlotte. Unless you want to just skip through most to hear David play, or Andrea sing, please don't bother. You don't get much scenery other than sets, and though the clothing was great, you don't see much variety. It hinted at some seed scenes as Paganini was a great womanizer, but ... No real sexy scenes! Joely Richardsons character was incidental and from what I saw, no real reason to be in the movie. She is a great actress, and she did her best, but why this character? Some news paper woman of the times? No good.
