What happens
Canone inverso – Making Love, also known as The Inverse Canon, is a 2000 Italian drama film directed by Ricky Tognazzi. It is based on the 1996 novel Canone Inverso by the Italian author Paolo Maurensig. The plot concerns how a distinctive violin with an anthropomorphic carved scroll changed hands, the friendship of two young violinists, and the love of one of them for a concert pianist. The film opens at the time of the Prague Spring, but the main events take place prior to World War II in Czechoslovakia. Although an Italian production, the film is entirely in English, and involves anglophone, Italian and French actors. Variety noted that "Performances generally are fine, with Matheson and Williams bringing plenty of vigor and spirit, and Thierry [...] supplying some delicate grace notes". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
