Сладкий и гадкий
Himself
Ретрокомедия о классике джаза - гитаристе Эммете Рэе (Шон Пенн), малоизвестном музыканте 30-х годов. Выше него ценители и он сам ставили только Джанго Рейнхардта, гитариста-цыгана, работавшего в ресторанах Парижа. Эммет любил выпить и поговорить у железной дороги с обычными бомжами и пьянчугами, пострелять по крысам на помойке, он любил игру на гитаре, и был способен на самые невообразимые выходки. Он пускается в загул и просыпается в другом городе, не помня, как туда попал. Он зарабатывал и угощал всех, спуская все, жег деньги… И он божественно играл. Когда Дар достается таким людям, они не носятся с ним, как с писаной торбой, а живут, как удается, не ломая своей природы. Ума Турман в роли писательницы Бланш, бывшей короткое время его женой, и писавшей о нем. Эммет Рэй исчез, и никто точно не знает, как закончилась его жизнь. К счастью, остались записи его музыки.
Lenny Bruce: Without Tears
Lenny Bruce: Without Tears
Himself (archive footage)
The outrageous, groundbreaking comic Lenny Bruce, whose iconoclastic material in a conservative era got him into tragic trouble, is profiled by a close friend, Fred Baker, who prefers to remember the laughs Lenny Bruce's memory evokes instead of the tears. By presenting Bruce's landmark skits on the Steve Allen Show, his failed TV pilot episode and a candid interview with Nat Hentoff, Bruce's genius and anguish show through the dramatic and tragic trajectory of his career from aspiring artist to hunted "lawbreaker".
