There’s lots to love in this documentary–much of it sort of predictable (the “universal” appeal of music dominated by dead white European men, the indomitable human spirit, silk-pursing the sow’s ears, blah blah blah)–and I’d be lying if I said those things didn’t tug-tug-tug at my heart’s single string, but I’d likewise be lying if I didn’t admit that what I love best is the way the form of the violin has been optimized to the materials they have at hand. All fingers crossed that this film permits itself a few digressions into the technical aspects of making violins from salvaged cooking oil cans.
