'Round Midnight is a very odd, very sweet film about an alcoholic tenor saxophonist who is befriended by a French jazz fan in Paris. This film is about their relationship and, well, also about good fucking jazz.Bertrand Tavernier's film is at its best when it's giving us music, most of this is gorgeous saxophone playing, but there are also some exquisite vocals from Lonette McKee and a great number by Sandra Reaves-Phillips. Martin Scorsese has a sizeable acting role in the film, as well.
