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.

    Round Midnight.
  

*by J***� on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2022*

A beautifully lyrical, melancholy-tinged period drama that centres around the relationship of jazz fan and commercial artist Francis (François Cluzet) and the musician Dale Turner (Dexter Gordon); Turner is a composite character based on Lester Young and Bud Powell and the background is that of the exiled American black jazz community of Paris in the late 50s-early 60s.I saw this when it came out in 1986 at the Glasgow film Theatre and it`s always been a favourite film of mine, with Gordon portraying a creative, sensitive but self-destructive jazz musician; the music is excellent, played by the musicians who also play the characters in the story and any serious jazz fan will get the many cultural  references and names that are liberally scattered throughout the storyline.The Region 1 DVD from Warner Brothers will require a region free player; it is in English/French languages with on-screen subtitles for the French dialogue; English subtitles for the whole film can also be selected if required.There are no significant extras.

    Round Midnight is the real Magic Hour
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2022*

Adored this film when I first saw it back in January 1987. Rushed out and purchased the soundtrack, and now I'm a delighted recipient of this Bluray.For me, the finest jazz picture ever made.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Best fictional jazz film ever? Probably.
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2021*

If you're reading this review then you're probably already familiar with the fact that the story is based on incidents in the lives of Lester Young and Bud Powell's periods of living and playing in Paris (and captured in the fictional character of Dale Turner played by the late, great Dexter Gordon). As such, the central plot is fairly nebulous and not a lot happens BUT that's not the point! This isn't a Hollywood film. This is a film about music and the obsession of two men with jazz, one a fan and the other a musician and the friendship they form. It is frankly one of the best fictional films about jazz, if not THE best, which I've ever seen. We all know that Dexter can play but he can also really act too, far better than many of the so-called actors who appear in many a modern Hollywood film today. One of the joys in watching this film is spotting whose who in the cast of supporting musicians, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Wayne Shorter, etc, - a roll call of jazz talent. Highly recommend.
