only for true Kinski fans
The movie is a badly edited compilation of scenes that blurted from Kinski's mind at the end of his brilliant career. Could have been a brilliant story of a great musician with human flaws like everybody else but with a huge gift for the violin. Better watch the rest of his work, most very good since he didn't merely acted but he rather transformed his personality to the character he was portraying.
The movie is just OK
This 2 disc set has 2 editions of the same film. Disc 1 is the theatrical version. Disc 2 is the Directors version.
The movie is loosely based on the life of Paganini the virtuoso violinist from the 1800s. He was the rock star of his era and apparently was intent on sleeping with every woman he encountered. The entire movie is just violin playing and hanky panky. The director's version just has more of the adult content. The sets and costumes are fine but the film gets old pretty fast.
Daemon Of Musica
A very provocative film by Klaus Kinski, naturally the different language simultaneous dub tell different things so the translation is not the same more or less from English to French to Italian & i heard different criteria between each so it helps to know more than one language. As for the film, is a must for every musician otherwise eccentric violinist or even keyboardist to own in your personal golden library of masterpieces.
