The Violin Player

First of all: sorry for my English. Please correct me to arrive where I want to take you to. A film is always a challenge: it defies the sensitivity of those who watch it. I accepted the challenge. And I loved it. Probably most of the people could finds it too slow, or too pretentious. Is is not. We live, in general, surrounded by action, action and more action. This one moves action within the viewers and then, while the film progresses, suspense begins to grow and suddenly you are in the middle of a whirlwind and, finally, "The violin player" gives you two endings. Alfer that… I saw it again. I asked who played the violin, and the Production gently told me that he was the Musical Director. Well, I think he is an actor, too. It is really extraordinary. If I could write in Spanish, I probably would be able to express myself about the quality of the Actors, the Photographer, the Writers and the Director. Thank you so very much... all of you!

There is no complaint regarding the acting of both the main actors. The story gets predictable after a certain time but that is not an issue. The main issue for me was the length of the movie. It could have been a great short movie of 25 minutes but it is stretched. May be that is to developing the characters but imo it is a bit long.

Rarely do i write reviews....so i might not convey what i feel accurately. In a long time i haven't been so captivated by a movie as much as this. One ofcourse watches dramas like this alone to draw their own meaning from it (which i would advise people to do). It conveys so much more than what can be said verbally by the actors or me. Masterful storytelling, skilful acting by both the actors. A must watch and people will be pleasantly surprised.

One of the best Indian films of 2016. I had started watching it without any expectation but got hooked onto it.India doesn't make films like these anymore. I had seen the director's first film Teenkahon earlier. This one is a far superior film in terms of craft and storytelling. The use of black screen, the monotonous pace of the film, the two possible endings all have a touch of a master storyteller. Could have been a little shorter but overall 10 out of 10.

If I could sum it up in one word, it would be disturbing, the beginning already adds a sudden interest, a simple musician, living in a very poor condominium and the emergence of a cockroach, a different and intriguing situation, and at a certain moment, we are the cockroach, the camera game, photography, ambiance, perfect, because it reliably portrays simplicity and poverty, and during filming, that uncomfortable situation, the character's embarrassment, a reflection of the moviegoer watching him... What was that plot twist , guys... Beautiful movie...
