Without a doubt the most famous movie about Chet Baker. This incredibly harmonious black-and-white movie tells about the creative path of the maestro from the 50s of the last century to the last days of his life. Interviews with friends, relatives, a lot of archival records, photos, and of course Chet Baker himself, who as a cruel idea of the director gives us an opportunity to compare him at the beginning of his musical career - when he was fabulously popular, driving women crazy - his fashionable appearance (James Dean style), manner of dressing (tight white T-shirt) and behaving as if embarrassed. When he played the trumpet in a way that made the ladies weep, and when he sang, the same ladies lost their senses. And he's at the end-after he has a heroin addict friend in his life, after he's already spent years in a world of drug-induced oblivion, ending up in police and prison, after his face was mangled in one of the fights. Maybe because the movie was made a few months before the musician's death, throughout the whole movie, one can't help feeling that the director, as if sensing Chet's close passing, gives him a chance to say goodbye.
Vienna, 1823. Antonio Salieri, once a respected court composer to Emperor Joseph II, is living out his days in a madhouse. In his confession, he recalls his life marked by his confrontation with the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who seemed to playfully create music like the voice of heaven. Salieri, torn by envy and admiration for the genius, vowed to God to destroy his rival at all costs.
