Round Midnight (15)
Merlin Theatre
Thursday 20th October 2011
Bretrand Tavernier – 1986 – 133 mins
USA/France
Language: English/French
Real-life jazz legend Dexter Gordon brilliantly portrays the fictional tenor sax player Dale Turner, a musician slowly losing the battle with alcoholism, estranged from his family, and hanging on by a thread in the 1950's New York jazz world. Dale gets an offer to play in Paris, where, like many other black American musicians at the time, he enjoys a respect for his humanity that is not based upon the colour of his skin.
