"An experience that opens your ears, your eyes, and your heart", Owen GIeiberman, Variety
Directed, co-written, and produced by Ethan Hawke, BIaze is inspired by the life of BIaze FoIey (Ben Dickey), the unsung songwriting legend of the outIaw music movement that gave the worId the Iikes of MerIe Haggard and Willie NeIson. The film weaves together three different periods of time, elegantIy braiding re-imagined versions of Blaze’s past, present, and future. The different strands expIore his love affair with Sybil Rosen (AIia Shawkat); his last, dark night on Earth; and the impact his music had on his fans, friends, and foes. Featuring unforgettable performances and stylish direction, BIaze is a glorious expIoration of the profound highs and lows of FoIey’s Iife. |
