As for Mr. Cusack, there's nothing potential about his stardom any more. He's the self-doubting, self-flagellating, self-ironic soul of "High Fidelity," and he's great.

Wall Street Journal
If you can put up with all the archness and self-consciousness--there's quite a bit of both--this is an enjoyable romantic comedy.

It's not perfect, but boy, is it ever accurate and insightful.

When happiness does arrive in this movie, it has the air not of something that you reach, like your top speed, but of something that you give in to, like baldness or old age.

High Fidelity is an extraordinarily funny film, full of verbal and visual wit. And it is assembled with immense skill.

Product Description:
The award-winning Guarneri String Quartet are tracked on tour Europe and the U.S. performing music of Haydn, Schubert, Mozart, Smetana and Beethoven. Through intimate rehearsals and recording sessions, we observe the inner mechanisms that cause the foursome, the oldest original-membership string quartet in the country, to flourish.
Description by First Run Features Home Video:
From the filmmaking team that brought us the Academy Award-winning From Mao To Mozart: Isaac Stern in China comes this spirited and humorous documentary about the world-famous Guarneri String Quartet. Filled with the music of Haydn, Schubert, Mozart and Beethoven, this provocative yet enjoyable film joins the Quartet during intimate rehearsals and recording sessions, as well as on tour to Prague, Venice, Baden-Baden and across the United States. An astonishing look into the inner workings of the legendary Quartet, "HIGH FIDELITY may be the best film about music and musicians since From Mao To Mozart!" (Vincent Canby, The New York Times).
