Benjamin E @RT20144821 Feb 17, 2025 I really enjoyed this movie. I’m into history and After hearing niccolò paganini background story on YouTube and him supposedly “selling his soul to the devil” made it thrilling and kinda scary. Makes me wonder a lot about the music industry. Overall it was a good movie and I would definitely watch it again. See more D W @DWYZ80 Oct 9, 2023 If you are watching for the virtuoso playing of David Garrett. You will be entertained. If you are expecting a well executed movie... You will be disappointed. Garrett's acting is rough, but the story telling and directing are the real letdowns. There isn't any real development of the characters. There's no transparency of why he suddenly falls for the chambermaid. Its a shame that there wasn't more of an attempt to track Paganini's life rather than just capture his final few years. See more Aug 10, 2021 Ludicrous enough to regret it's a movie, and therefore is "performed" on the screens: Better just listen to the amazing music scores! Above all is better Mr. Garret gets back to the theatres' stages to play his violins... See more Sep 6, 2020 Message: classical artists were just like rock stars. Only Amadeus made this point with more intrigue, curiosity and complexity than this movie could even imagine. The devil motif is somehow both too veiled and too blunt, wasting an unmotivated Jared Harris, who all but twirls his own mustache. The musical performances are quite cool, but far too rare; if you're gonna hire a real violinist, maybe ask him to do more playing and less dramatic emoting. See more Apr 19, 2020 spellbinding, very charismatic David Garrett played the part of Paganini from his soul. See more Jan 25, 2019 Itâ(TM)s painful to watch almost 2 hours of such poor acting skills from the main actor... David Garret should focus on his musical career and let the acting to the ones who can actually do it. It's obvious that he cared more for his â?Â?physical appearence than the characterâ(TM)s psychological struggles... It's a pity, Paganiniâ(TM)s story is so interesting, but the whole film failed to portray a serious picture of him. See more Read all reviews
