I don't know why exactly but I am in love with the movie The Red Violin. I'm glad to see someone else has at least heard of it as it is not a widely known movie.Ricochet wrote:Of course it wasn't.

There was American History X, The Big Lebowski, Aronofsky's Pi, Rushmore, The Truman Show, Velvet Goldmine, Mulan.
There was Kusturica's Black Cat, White Cat, Vinterberg's Festen, Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Last Vegas, Tykwer's Run Lola Run, The Red Violin, the original Ringu, Taxi
A Best Picture statuette is not a unit measure for worth.
Hard to believe Saving Private Ryan didn't win that year as it is the kind of movie it seems like the Academy usually goes for.
