Review of Paganini

Paganini (1989)
8/10
Kinski's mistake?
28 January 2009
Kinski was surely an really outstanding performer. In this film it is only one thing which bothers me a little bit: Why is he plying the violin with the right hand? And you see some scenes with the hands of Accardo who as one of the greatest violin player and Paganini interpreter plays the Paganini scores, the hand you see is the usual left one. I cannot believe that Kinski made a mistake but still i do not get his message. The pictures in the film are overwhelming and you will really understand what is the effect of Paganini's music - and not only for women. The language of this pictures explain in subtly manner the eroticism of the Violin and especially of Paganin's music. The film is a must for all lovers of classical violin music.
