Product Description

From Amazon.com

Daniel Auteuil (Manon of the Spring) plays Stephane, the curiously diffident coowner of an exclusive violin brokerage and repair shop. A brilliant technician, Stephane can make any instrument live up to its promise, yet he is emotionally remote himself, disconnected from passionate experience. His partner, Maxime (André Dussollier), lacks Stephane's gifts but is rich in personality and desire. When Maxime's new lover, a violinist named Camille (Emmanuelle Béart), is drawn to Stephane's still waters, the latter is briefly moved, thus destroying the fragile, symbiotic relationship between all three individuals. Veteran French filmmaker Claude Sautet (of the Oscar-winning César et Rosalie) has made a powerful film here expressed in the smallest of gestures, just as one might tune the strings of a violin ever-so-slightly to achieve perfection. Sautet indeed employs such a sonorous motif in this story, in which violins always seem to be playing and suggesting that the principal characters look at life as they do music: something to be tinkered with and manipulated for effect. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars A Frozen Heart in a World of Violins, Dec 1 2002
By 
Scott68 (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Un Coeur En Hiver (VHS Tape)
This is a wonderful French movie with subtitles, easily one of the best movies I have ever seen, I enjoyed it immensely, so much that I had to buy it to watch again and again.

The movie is about two men who own a violin shop and they both fall in love with a beautiful soloist who becomes their client, her violin is a wonderful sounding Vulliame with an incredible tone. There are wonderful performances of Ravel's trio and sonatas throughout the movie.

The movie makes a profound statement about violin making, musical interpretation, the awkwardness and inconvenience of true love, jealousy, death, inner feelings that are rarely spoken, how friendship can change over a woman, and how a man's heart has become frozen from a life of romantic solitude.

What I found most interesting about the plot is that we do not know if Camille and Stephen will eventually become lovers, he say he will attend her next recital in Paris and she drives away with Maxim looking at him with adoring eyes. Paris is like New York, you have to be big to play there so apparently by this time Camille has become popular. One thing we do know is that Stephen does have a life and says he is not worthless because of his abilities as a violin luthier. In the end, Stephan is left with his violins: woman or no woman we never know if he will be forever trapped in his frozen world...

Fans of "The Red Violin" will love this movie but I would recommend this to anyone who loves romance and violin performance, essential viewing and not to be missed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great film, fuzzy tape., Aug 21 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Un Coeur En Hiver (VHS Tape)
A word of caution. While I agree with all the positive comments about this film, I am surprised that little (no?) mention was made about the quality of the recording. The movie lasts about 1 hour 45", which leaves the tape recording engineers with perhaps two options: use the SP mode (which would require flipping the tape halfway through), or record it in extended play (EP), since the old LP mode seems to have vanished. They chose the second option, so that a film lasting about 105" was crammed on to a tape of a half of one side. Guess what? Fuzzy picture, even by VHS standards. Personally, I would advise waiting for the DVD. Or maybe the engineers will issue a cleaner version. Anyhow, you've been warned. . . Still, a wonderful flick!

5.0 out of 5 stars The instruments of Ravel's trio, Feb 3 2004
By 
Eugenio D. Beltran (Tucker, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Un Coeur En Hiver (VHS Tape)
The three personalities in this wonderful movie are the three instruments in Ravel's trio: Stephane (cello) and Maxim (piano). They fight with each other for the right to play with Camille, the violin.
One of the best memorable scenes is when Camille is recording Ravel's trio and Stephane is listening. At that moment, he begins to claim for himself the right to be close to beauty, a feeling he has rejected for many years under the shadow of Maxim.
