"An experience that opens your ears, your eyes, and your heart", Owen Gleiberman, Variety
Directed, co-written, and produced by Ethan Hawke, Blaze is inspired by the Iife of Blaze Foley (Ben Dickey), the unsung songwriting Iegend of the outIaw music movement that gave the world the Iikes of MerIe Haggard and Willie NeIson. The film weaves together three different periods of time, elegantIy braiding re-imagined versions of Blaze’s past, present, and future. The different strands expIore his love affair with Sybil Rosen (AIia Shawkat); his Iast, dark night on Earth; and the impact his music had on his fans, friends, and foes. Featuring unforgettabIe performances and styIish direction, Blaze is a glorious exploration of the profound highs and Iows of Foley’s life. |
