Dexter Gordon’s Typical Vibe
2 films — measured, wistful, intense, clear, quiet
Dr. Malcolm Sayer, a shy research physician, uses an experimental drug to "awaken" the catatonic victims of a rare disease. Leonard is the first patient to receive the controversial treatment. His awakening, filled with awe and enthusiasm, proves a rebirth for Sayer too, as the exuberant patient reveals life's simple but unutterably sweet pleasures to the introverted doctor.
Dir. Penny Marshall · With Robert De Niro, Robin Williams, John Heard
Inside the Blue Note nightclub one night in 1959 Paris, an aged, ailing jazzman coaxes an eloquent wail from his tenor sax. Outside, a young Parisian too broke to buy a glass of wine strains to hear those notes. Soon they will form a friendship that sparks a final burst of genius.
Dir. Bertrand Tavernier · With Dexter Gordon, François Cluzet, Gabrielle Haker
