Watching a movie on Arizona PBS.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

It's called "The Red Violin". The story puts me in the mind of stories like "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudice". But yet it's completely different.
Anyone else watching? Think it's on other PBS channels too.

1. I think I saw that about 20 years ago

It’s like the history of some mysterious violin with Samuel L Jackson?

3. Haven't seen Samuel L Jackson in it yet.

But yeah it's about a mysterious red violin.

2. I saw it when it came out.

Went with a friend, a fellow professional (classical) musician. She plays violin and viola, I just play viola. When it came to the scene in the middle of the film with the Pagannini type character, where he's playing the violin and screwing his girlfriend, we laughed out loud very loudly (disturbing everyone else in the theater.) Why did we laugh so uproariously? Because, as any string player knows, you wouldn't do such a thing with such a valuable instrument because (God forbid) some body fluid might get on the varnish ...

It was a good story.

4. I saw it when it first came out. An incredible epic story, beautifully filmed,

spanning centuries and cultures. I saw it was on PBS as one the the two Saturday night movies they show each week on "Hollywood at Home." But I don’t have time to watch it tonight. I made a mental note to rent it soon when I have a chance to settle down with an epic.
