The Red Violin
An Academy Award Winner
It’s a Canadian, British and Italian coproduction, starring Samuel L. Jackson, and which follows the history of a Stradivarius violin over 4 centuries, and through 5 countries. A wonderful movie for anyone who enjoys music and musical instruments.
The violin ends up in Montreal, which is where I grew up, so that was fun for me as well.

Too late to edit: the story was inspired by an actual Stradivarius, but is about a violin made in Cremona, Italy in 1681. The Academy Award was for best original music score
