    The best film I've seen in years!

    The film is captivating, inspiring, and touching. The cinematography and sound track are awesome! It has an intriguing plot with good character development. The acting is superb. Hans Matheson definitely stole the screen with his character portrayal and good looks. He is the most handsome and captivating man! It's a shame that US audiences are not familiar with the movie at all.

    A genuinely touching film

    I saw this movie with a large group of Jewish Film Festival Patrons and the

    overall impression of everyone I spoke to was overwhelmingly positive.

    Regardless of age or gender, this film touches and makes one feel truly moved. The performances were outstanding throughout the film. The actor who

    portrayed Jeno Varga was inspirational. The actor who played Sofie Levy was

    luminously beautiful. The film itself was filled with interesting plot twists and a interesting "mystery." The culmination was fulfilling and inspirational. The film also had great cinematography. While this was not a "perfect" film and one

    could point out "flaws" in the ages or some details of the film, none of that distracts from this WONDERFUL film. For ANYONE (Jew, non-Jew, male,

    female, young or old) wanting to see a genuinely touching and inspirational film about music, life, love, and a bit of everything, see Canone Inverso, a really delightful film.

    poetic, nice plot, nice photography, nice soundtrack

    Another Italian film featuring poetry and drama by means of a very nice photography, an intriguing plot, the usual involving soundtrack by Ennio Morricone (Once upon a time in America), intense playing by Melanie Thierry (wonderful) and Hans Matheson.

    Definitely to be seen.

    The best Italian movie on love and music

    I consider it one of the best movies in the history of Italian cinema. The book is very beautiful and the Director Ricky Tognazzi as been able to trasform the book in a masterpiece of cinema. You can feel love beetwen the man and the woman, and beetween friends and brothers, you can feel love for music. It's very dramatic and intense. Hans Matheson is the best actor, but Melanie Thierry is so a loving woman. All actors are very clever. It's a film that moves people towards love. Love is the centre of existence. This film is for all lovers.

    On my top 25 most romantic list.

    I saw this movie at the East Bay Jewish Film Festival in March. The Director of the festival commented while introducing the film that a) it was one of the best movies he had ever seen (which, you always say to yourself OK, prove it) and b) that unfortunately the movie company that made it, went bankrupt, so he had gotten extremely lucky and found the movie in a European used DVD movie bin. So, don't go looking for it on your favorite streaming service or library. You won't find it. That said, when the movie finished, I just sat there. I realized, as had everyone that had seen it in my row, that we had seen one hell of a movie. Not only a great love story, but wonderful music. You can listen to some of the music on YouTube, but if you are lucky enough to find it somewhere, don't miss it. Forget what some people have said, Oh..............its not in Czech or Italian, doesn't matter. 10/10 for me

    • Trivia
      First career nude scenes for Melanie Thierry.
    • Crazy credits
      The end titles in Italian language include a technical mistake. The character name 'Karl Levi' is spread for two strings possessing two actors: Andrea Prodan and Andy Luotto. Actually, 'Karl Levi' is played by Andrea Prodan, and Andy Luotto played 'Hischbaum' - this character is missed in the end titles as result of this technical mistake.
