Born to Be Blue (2015)
Directed by Robert
Budreau this film based on a true story stars Ethan Hawke, Carmen
Ejogo and Callum Keith Rennie. In the 1960s we follow the attempted
come back of jazz musician Chet Baker.
It is hard for me to
say how close this film is to real events as I know nothing about the
subject matter but it is a good look at addiction. There may be many
films on the subject of addiction and fame floating around but the
melancholy notes this film hits along with it's down beat ending do
make it somewhat unique. Ethan Hawke gives a really good performance
in the lead role and is well supported by Carmen Ejogo.
4/5
