Ethan Hawke on Born to Be Blue: Reel Pieces with Annette Insdorf

Fresh from directing the documentary Seymour: An Introduction - and its memorable Reel Pieces preview one year ago - Ethan Hawke is back playing the jazz trumpet icon Chet Baker.
Born to Be Blue is a cinematic riff on musical genius - undermined by drug addiction - set in the late 1950s when Baker was being compared to Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie (both of whom are portrayed in the film). Carmen Ejogo gives a soulful performance as the loving woman who tries to keep Baker away from heroin.

I'm a singer & what I really loved, cherish & thank Ethan for is how very much he conveyed the blissful,sense of home, sense of self and truly inexplicable connection an artist deeply can feel to their art and art itself.that is what struck me right to the soul about this film.

I just noticed that he's wearing the same shirt as in Peter Travers interview. Cool to know these were done on the same day

I love Ethan Hawke that's why I watched the movie. I felt I know Chet Baker and I watched it over again. Now I want to listen to his music and will do so.

Excellent. Really interesting

Ethan's pouring his heart out, he's getting serious and deep, sharing passion and empathy about Baker's music...and the audience is laughing.
Bunch of shallow idiots.
So irritating.
