It may be a matter of personal taste. I am not very interested in this kind of film that is somewhat surreal, somewhat fairy-tale, with gorgeous and delicate pictures, but it makes the story more boring. In particular, the tarot cards add to the mystery of the story, making it seem rambling.

The soundtrack in some passages is oversaturated and does not coordinate well with the plot. The emotion in the plot reaches the level that the soundtrack wants to express, and the soundtrack usurps to a position where it does not belong. Take the music out and listen to it alone, the music is great, but when combined with the picture, it feels a bit split.

The format of the story (connecting multiple characters and stories through a single object) is unconventional and somewhat novel, but not the first. The ability of the director to tell the story is not very good, and the combination of form and content is not perfect. The combination of multiple stories did not burst into a stronger force, but felt that the energy was offset. A story is picked out alone, and it is relatively bland, and there is nothing particularly touching.

The characters are bland, not particularly rigid, but not particularly vivid either.

At first, I thought that the theme of the movie was about music and the complexities of various lives in contact with the violin. Later, I wondered if it was about tarot cards?
