The Violin

Mexico

A story about some peasants fighting against government oppressors in an unstated area of contemporary Mexico. We follow an old violin player who uses wile as his part of the struggle. 

Beautiful B/W photography and camera movement throughout. Strong casting and an intelligent script kept this out of the cliche ranks. The link with legend was subtle and gave the film an heroic quality which stories like this strive for and seldom achieve.

Good stuff.
