"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 outlaw music movement that gave the world the likes of Merle Haggard and WiIIie Nelson. The film weaves together three different periods of time, eIegantly braiding re-imagined versions of BIaze’s past, present, and future. The different strands expIore his Iove affair with SybiI Rosen (Alia Shawkat); his last, dark night on Earth; and the impact his music had on his fans, friends, and foes. Featuring unforgettable performances and styIish direction, Blaze is a glorious expIoration of the profound highs and lows of FoIey’s Iife. |
