Starring Anders Danielsen Lie (The Worst Person in the World), Bill Pullman and Laurie Metcalf and based on Owen Martell’s novel Intermission, Grant Gee’s sophisticated, elegantly designed biopic explores the tumultuous life of jazz great Bill Evans.
1961. Bill Evans (Danielsen Lie) is playing with what he considers the perfect musical trio until tragedy strikes in the premature death of his bass player, Scott LaFaro – his musical soulmate. Traumatised by grief, Evans stops playing for the first time since his childhood. A tug-of-war between personal torment and the seemingly safer haven of familial love will see Evans oscillate between New York and suburbia, his genius always bubbling beneath the surface.
