1830. Violin virtuoso and notorious womanizer Niccolò Paganini (David Garrett) is at the peak of his career, acclaimed throughout Europe. His name alone suggests countless affairs and scandals - which is exactly what his manager Urbani (Jared Harris) is doing his utmost to cultivate, for it is in his interest to market his famous client the best way possible. Only the London public has yet to be conquered. In a plan to lure Paganini to London for his British debut, English impresario John Watson (Christian McKay) and his mistress Elisabeth Wells (Veronica Ferres) risk all they own. Business-savvy Urbani ultimately manages to bring Paganini to the British capital, albeit against his will. And thanks to the rave reviews by journalist Ethel Langham (Joely Richardson), Urbani's strategy seems to be working better than he imagined. Protestors throng his hotel, causing pandemonium.

Astounding virtuoso playing by Garrett, beautiful aria sung by Andrea Deck,beautiful set designs, streetscapes and costumes ... all of which make up for the sometimes stilted acting and questionable story line. - @Monday, June 25, 2018 6:04 AM

It's quite Ironic that his violin is a Del Gesu when he's a devil's violinist. - @Wednesday, April 18, 2018 4:44 PM

David Garret is a great violinist but as an actor he reminds me of Tommy Wiseau.... - @Tuesday, April 17, 2018 1:17 AM

A very talented violinist, in a very bad movie. Perhaps if they did not give the credit to the devil for Paganini's talent, left out the smutty porn scenes, and just displayed the truth of this very gifted man by the God of Heaven , the movie would have been a success, and God would have blessed it. While it is true that people do not always use their gifts for the Glory of the God that gave it to them, they certainly did not get it from Satan! - @Tuesday, February 6, 2018 9:52 AM

When people can't understand someone's skill and become jealous of it, then they start judging and making up stupid explanations. Oh and, by the way, David Garrett looks like Yngwie Malmsteen more than he looks like Paganini - @Monday, April 3, 2017 1:08 AM

Carlos Casas Acosta

Por favor! Paganini era horrible, todo mundo le temía debido a su aspecto físico, era desgarbado, nariz aguileña, sus manos eran inmensas debido a una enfermedad que padecía, era muy alto; en cuanto a su personalidad, no era así de encantador, era una persona sombría, mística, reservada, se decía que tenia un pacto con el diablo para tocar perfectamente su violin, era quisquilloso con su arte, dedicado hasta la obsesión y enamorado de las mujeres que, en la gran mayoría, lo buscaban por su dinero. Eran todas esas cosas las que lo hacian "fascinante"; no este principe de cuento de hadas que lo mal retrata =( - @Tuesday, March 28, 2017 1:42 PM

Paganini, the devil worshiper. David Garrett, an illuminati member, then, they are son's of perdition. - @Monday, December 28, 2015 5:14 AM

I hate how they make every genre of movie about "romance with some cute young girl." Really tired of seeing that over and over. Every time it's like "oh she's such a breath of fresh air," when in effect it's the exact opposite, it's so overdone and annoying. - @Thursday, November 19, 2015 9:17 PM
