[MILL Senior Friday] World of Film with Mark Phelan

About this event

Join us on Fridays for a day full of events for Seniors with the MILL @ MPL! All events are free and open to the public. Registration is recommended unless otherwise noted.

The Red Violin (1998) | R

The intricate history of a beautiful antique violin is traced from its creation in Cremona, Italy, in 1681, where a legendary violin maker paints it with his dead wife's blood to keep her memory alive, to an auction house in modern-day Montreal, where it draws the eye of an expert appraiser. Over the years between, the violin travels through four different countries, where it has a profound impact on all those who own it.
