SUA AVALIAÇÃO

Not since Paganini had there been such a magician on the violin.
The first modern violin virtuoso, about whom Itzhak Perlman says in the film, Â“When I spoke with him, I thought, Â‘I canÂ’t believe it. IÂ’m talking with GodÂ’.Â” A musical wunderkind, he went on to set the standard in violin playing for nearly a century. This film portrays an artist for whom only perfection would do, so well known in popular culture that his name became shorthand for excellence for everyone from Jack Benny, to The Muppets, to Woody Allen.

Heifetz was a legendary but mysterious figure whose story embodies the dual nature of artistic genius: the paradox of how a mortal man lives with immortal gifts- gifts he must honor, but which extract a life long price. Is the man and the artist the same person? What is the price each pays? And who was the man behind the music?

An excellent portrayal of a difficult personality

Started out knowing nothing about Heifetz except a familiarity with his name. Saw the documentary at the RiverRun Film Festival in Winston-Salem where Peter Rosen was in attendance. Haifetz himself could carry the film with his electrifying performances, but credit goes to the filmmaker for taking great care in restoring Heifetz's very old recordings. Heifetz's notes are played throughout the film to great effect, and it created a veritable trance in this viewer, and held my attention throughout as his life story unfolds. His life was not full of high drama, but he was a quiet and often conflicting character. This film caught that dichotomy quite well and is an excellent showcase for the master's music.
