Mo' Better Blues (1990)
Country: US
Technical: col 127m
Director: Spike Lee
Cast: Denzel Washington, Spike Lee, Wesley Snipes, Cynda Williams
Synopsis:
A trumpeter grows up giving more of himself to his instrument than to his friends and ultimately loses everything but is redeemed by the love of the woman he dropped.
Review:
A long and leisurely narrative doesn't make its business clear early enough, but looks and sounds great along the way. Indeed the glossiness of the visuals is half of the problem in defining the mood.
