Introduction
“Born to be Blue” is a re-imagining of jazz legend Chet Baker's life in the 1960s. When Chet (with talent to burn and movie-star looks that have him dubbed the "James Dean of Jazz") stars in a film about himself, a romance heats up with the African American female lead, the enigmatic Jane. Production is shelved though when a vicious beating means he may never play music again. Jane challenges Chet to avoid self-destruction, stay clean, and mount a musical comeback against all the odds.
The fact that director Robert Budreau once made a short film dealing with the mysterious death of Chet Baker (Stephen McHattie, who played Baker in that work, appears here as his father) testifies to the depth of his admiration for the musician. This film focuses on Baker’s attempt to make a comeback after hitting absolute bottom. The uncommonly talented Ethan Hawke is highly adept at recreating the trumpet genius, who was destructive and possessed a delicate beauty. The film adds another dimension to the story by depicting the complexity of being a white star in the primarily black world of jazz during the tumultuous 1960s. Carmen Ejogo, acclaimed for her performance in “Selma” (2014), plays Baker’s girlfriend.
