In 'Round Midnight, real-life jazz legend Dexter Gordon brilliantly portrays the fictional tenor sax player Dale Turner, a musician slowly losing the battle with alcoholism, estranged from his family, and hanging on by a thread in the 1950's New York jazz world. Dale gets an offer to play in Paris, where, like many other black American musicians at the time, he enjoys a respect for his humanity that is not based upon the color of his skin. A Parisian man who is obsessed with Turner's music befriends him and attempts to save Turner from himself. Although for Dale the damage is already done, his poignant relationship with the man and his young daughter re-kindles his spirit and his music as the end draws near.

| Washington PostPaul AttanasioA lovingly gentle yet vibrant tribute to jazz, friendship and film itself, made by a director of consummate taste and precise imagination. |
| User ReviewByron BWatching Dexter act is almost as mesmerizing as listening to one of his records. This film is an ironically quiet, soulful and devastating look at a the life of a man punished by his inescapable genius. It wouldn't be fair to say that Round Midnight is a biopic as it only depicts an artists at the end of his rope. But I think it would be accurate to say that Tavernier's film depicts, with exhilarating compassion, the soul of an artist at that ethereal point in which demons and muses run wild inside the moonlit alleys of his armored mind. This film deserves five stars and more. |
