Member Rating:  
In his last film, actor Klaus Kinski directs himself in this story of notorious 18th-century composer/violinst Niccolo Paganini. Mainly because of the emphasis on Paganini's sex life, the film's producers called the film "pornographic" (although there are no graphic sex scenes) and sued Kinski. The film had a very spotty release, Kinski never acted again, and he died three years later. ~ Brian Gusse, Rovi

    It is pedofilic, more then pornographic. Nothing to do with erotism or a real description of the life of Paganini. Not only distastfull, but also boring

    As a violinist, I was looking forward to this movie. What a disappointment. Kinski didn't even have the acting chops to learn to hold the violin or fake play it, but worst of all the movie is largely him walking around, no dialog at all. The editing is bad, the quality of the print is bad, the acting is bad, the story is non-existant, the acting is bad (yes, it bares repeating). There's nothing positive to say about this movie.
