Full Plot Details

"'Tis Autumn: The Search For Jackie Paris" is a feature documentary about a great but unheralded jazz singer that explores the very nature of what it is to live the life of an artist--any artist. Filmmaker Raymond De Felitta examines the life of cult favorite jazz singer Jackie Paris, but at the same time he might well be exploring the life of any artist in any discipline, too many of whom share the same fate that Paris did: the explosive debut followed by the years of ups and downs; the constant hope that success, though out of reach, is around the corner; the private tragedies that grow out of artistic frustration; and the final, self-inflicted wounds which all too often cause the once promising to descend into bitterness and chaos, a prelude to vanishing completely. Working with rare found footage and new interviews with jazz legends such as Billy Taylor, George Wein, Mark Murphy and Ruth Price, as well as the final concert footage and last interviews Jackie Paris ever gave -- De Felitta constructs an emotional mystery story which asks the question: who or what is to blame when a great talent goes from sensation to footnote during their life span?

Movie Reviews

Globe and Mail - 9/10 by Rick GroenIt's hard not to be moved by 'Tis Autumn -- The Search for Jackie Paris.
ViewLondon - 8/10 by Matthew TurnerFascinating, well made and ultimately moving documentary that works on several levels and delivers a powerful emotional punch.
Sky Cinema - 8/10 by Tim EvansPit him against an inexperienced documentary-maker and the result is an often hilarious hotchpotch of cack-handed research and dim-witted interview techniques.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Bruce DeMaraIt gives us a glimpse back to a time when hepcats were cool and jazz was king, reminding us that the power of great music transcends time, fate, exile and even death.
Los Angeles CityBeat - 8/10 by Andy KleinDe Felitta makes a strong case for Paris's greatness simply by cramming the soundtrack with cuts from the singer's sporadic five-decade discography.
Time Out - 7/10 by Tom HuddlestoneIt's a fascinating tale that reveals as much about the cutthroat nature of the music biz as it does about this witty, nostalgia-prone elder statesman.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 6/10 by David GrittenAnnoyingly, Raymond de Felitta intrudes into his own movie, yet he also makes the case that here was a distinctive if wayward talent.
Guardian - 6/10 by Cath ClarkeParis himself is a tight-lipped interviewee of the old school; that all changes the moment he steps on stage, when we see what they have all been talking about.
Times (UK) - 6/10 by Kevin MaherBeginning as dreary jazz hagiography but ending as unflinching personal investigation.
Film4 - 6/10 by Trevor JohnstonA striking portrait of the price of fame and the transience of the music business spotlight.
