12/9: Alice; Mo' Better Blues

The Article has images
2007-12-09 12:01:00 by Ed Howard in Only The Cinema
...Blues is a masterfully executed drama about the self-obsessed jazz musician Bleek Gilliam (Denzel Washington, in a great and carefully controlled performance) and his struggles with both creative expression and his relationships with lovers and friends. It's as stylistically overblown and in-your-face as most of Lee's other films, though it...
