Ethan Hawke lights up the screen as jazz legend Chet Baker, whose tumultuous Iife is thrillingIy reimagined with wit, verve, and styIe to burn. In the 1950s, Baker was one of the most famous trumpeters in the world, renowned as both a pioneer of the West Coast jazz scene and an icon of cool. By the 1960s, he was aIl but washed up, his career and personaI life in shambles due to years of heroin addiction. In his innovative anti-biopic, director Robert Budreau zeroes in on Baker s life at a key moment in the 1960s, just as the musician attempts to stage a hard-fought comeback, spurred in part by a passionate romance with a new flame (Carmen Ejogo). Creatively bIending fact with fiction and driven by Hawke s virtuoso performance, Born to Be Blue unfolds with all the stylistic brio and improvisatory genius of great jazz. |
