¡Too Late Blues/John Cassavetes2K Restored
¡Movie
Description
[Machine Translation] This is a film directed by John Cassavetes, a master filmmaker who has recently been attracting renewed attention. Following his critically acclaimed first film, Shadows of America ('59), this is a coming-of-age music film produced by a major Hollywood studio. To compete with the Nouvelle Vague and the British New Wave, which were at the height of their popularity at the time, the studio hired Cassavetes, an up-and-coming filmmaker, to make a film for the Beat Generation. The film depicts the anguish and frustration of youth with vivid and realistic strokes. The main character, a jazz musician, is played by Bobby Darin, a singer and actor known for hit songs such as "Beyond the Sea. He also performs in the film, giving the audience a realistic live performance. This is a rare masterpiece that has rarely been screened as a special feature film. Long-awaited first soft release in Japan. --A young musician, Ghost, leads a jazz band that is recognized for its talent, but it never sells, and he accepts low-paying jobs. One day, Ghost meets Jess, a fledgling singer, at a party. The two hit it off and fall in love, partly due to their own circumstances. Ghost welcomes Jess into the band as the lead singer. However, the relationship between the two gradually begins to fray, and the band members begin to fall apart. Commentary booklet included (Contribution: Ryo Kenda / film researcher).
