Born to be Blue GFT 29 July – 4 August, 2016

A thrillingly reimagined anti-biopic about jazz legend Chet Baker.

Friday 29 July – Thursday 4 August

Running time: 1h37m

Jazz legend Chet Baker’s tumultuous life is thrillingly reimagined in this anti-biopic. In the 1950s, Chet Baker was a famous trumpeter renowned as a pioneer of the West Coast Jazz scene. However, by the 1960s his career and personal life were in ruins due to years of drug addiction. In Born to Be Blue, Baker (played by Ethan Hawke) battles against the odds to make a comeback, spurred on in part by a passionate romance with new flame Jane Azuka (Carmen Ejogo). Driven by Hawke’s dazzling performance, Born to Blue unfolds with the stylistic brio of great jazz.     

Director Robert Budreau Cast Ethan Hawke, Carmen Ejogo, Callum Keith Rennie, UK/Canada/USA 2015, 1h37m, 15
