This is a movie about a famous (albeit somewhat mysterious)"viol" player and composer in XVII century France. The viol was the direct ancestor of the violin. The French school for this instrument is very important , although too often forgotten since the violin took over. The movie presents what little is known about the composer. This makes a very romantic and fascinating plot. The music is outstanding and was a best-seller in many european countries.It is played by some of the best early music interpreters. Photography of the "Ile de France" scenery and acting are both very good. The combination should not fail to entrance all lovers of baroque music. I hope someone comes up with a DVD version ,to further enhance the musical enchantment.
