The film tells about Niccol با Paganini, a violinist and composer genius whose director Urbani (Jared Harris) is trying to take him to England to invade the masses in London. In London, Paganini falls in love with a beautiful city girl, as Urbani tries to isolate these things completely to keep the violinist's focus on the life of the stars of that period.
Even if, like me, you're a sucker for men with tossable hair and precision eyeliner, you can't help noticing that "The Devil's Violinist" is hysterical - and possibly historical - hooey.
Though his dramatic performance is somewhat too mild, classical-pop violinist David Garrett brings an electrifying musical authenticity to the lead role in "The Devil's Violinist."
Potentially there is a portrait of the artist in crisis buried beneath all the histrionics and parables. As it is, The Devil's Violinist is simply tone deaf.
