Rothschild's Violin
1938: Shostakovich encourages his pupil Fleischmann to write an opera based on the Chekhov story 'Rothschild's violin'. Fleischmann is killed during the siege of Leningrad. Shostakovich completes the orchestration, but in 1948 is advised to suppress the opera, during Stalin's campaign against "rootless cosmopolitans". Jewish motifs enter Shostakovich's own work.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Rothschild's Violin is a solid entry rated 7.0/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.
A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.
A classic from 1996. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
