Le Violon de Rothschild est un film finlando-hungaro-franco-suisse réalisé par l'Argentin Edgardo Cozarinsky, sorti en 1996.

Le sujet du film est l'opéra inachevé éponyme, de Benjamin Fleischmann, un élève du compositeur Dimitri Chostakovitch.

« Le Violon de Rothschild est l’un des rares films contemporains à prendre la mesure de l’histoire de ce siècle, et doit être compté à ce titre comme une des très grandes œuvres de cinéma réalisées depuis l’après-guerre. Produit en France et tourné en langue russe par un cinéaste d’origine argentine, il incarne de surcroît un « cosmopolitisme » que le siècle en question n’a pas cessé de victimiser, ce qui ne gâche rien. » Jacques Mandelbaum, Le Monde, cahier « Télévisions », dimanche 6 - lundi 7 décembre 2009, p.

Synopsis

Un jeune etudiant du conservatoire, Benjamin Fleischmann, choisit un recit de Tchekhov pour en tirer un opera en un acte qu'il compose sous la houlette de son professeur, Dimitri Chostakovitch qui, critique par les commissaires culturels, cherche refuge dans l'enseignement. Le jeune homme est tue pendant la guerre. Chostakovitch decide alors d'orchestrer l'opera inacheve de son eleve, afin d'honorer sa memoire.

The film frames the history of the "Red Violin" around a Canadian auction in 1997, where the violin is at the centre of multiple bids by interested parties, and a tarot card reading in 1681, where a violinmaker's wife has her future read for herself and her unborn child (and, by extension, that of the violin).

A bientôt cinquante ans, Simon est un violoniste émérite et désabusé. Faute de mieux, il échoue dans un collège parisien pour enseigner le violon aux élèves de la classe de 6ème de Farid. Ses méthodes d’enseignement rigides rendent ses débuts laborieux et ne facilitent pas ses rapports avec des élèves difficiles. Arnold est fasciné par le violon, sa gestuelle et ses sons. Une révélation pour cet enfant à la timidité maladive. Peu à peu, au contact du talent brut d'Arnold et de l'énergie joyeuse du reste de la classe, Simon revit et renoue avec les joies de la musique. Aura-t-il assez d’énergie pour surmonter les obstacles et tenir sa promesse d’emmener les enfants jouer à la Philharmonie ?

With a combination of toughness and determination, she inspires a group of kids, and their initially skeptical parents. The program slowly develops and attracts publicity.
