Blaze
Ethan Hawke, USA, 2018o
"Blaze" is inspired by the life of Blaze Foley, the unsung songwriting legend of the Texas outlaw music movement that spawned the likes of Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. The film weaves together three different periods of time, braiding re-imagined versions of Blaze’s past, present and future. The different strands explore his love affair with Sybil Rosen; his last, dark night on earth; and the impact his songs and his death had on his fans, friends, and foes.
Schauspieler Ethan Hawke schafft in seinem dritten Spielfilm als Regisseur das Kunststück, die Lebensgeschichte völlig unsentimental und doch äusserst berührend zu erzählen. Die Hauptdarsteller sind exzellent, allen voran Benjamin Dickey (selber ein Sänger) als Musiker mit Bärenfigur.
