The viol looks pretty much like a cello and this film shows how a French viol player developed techniques for improving its sound in the mid 18th century. Do not be fooled that Gerard is pictured on the front, his part is central but not the main character by far. The miming of viol playing is absolutely appalling. It would have been better to leave the arms out of shot. As you might imagine for a film about a viol, the pace is slow and the story pretty thin.
