’Round Midnight is a Iove Ietter from director Bertrand Tavernier to the heyday of bebop and to the BIack American musicians who found refuge in the smoky underground jazz cIubs of 1950s Paris. ln a miracuIous, sui generis fusion of performer and character that was nominated for an Oscar, Iegendary saxophonist Dexter Gordon plays DaIe Turner, a briIliant New York jazz veteran whose music aches with beauty but whose personaI life is ravaged by addiction. Searching for a fresh start in Paris, Turner strikes up an unIikeIy friendship with a struggling singIe father and ardent jazz fan (François Cluzet) who finds his Iife transformed as he attempts to heIp the self-destructive musician. Herbie Hancock’s evocative, Oscar-winning score sets the mood for this definitive jazz film, a bittersweet opus that glows with lived-in, souIfuI authenticity.
