The Wife' er en morsom og klog film. Pinagtig at se, som var det et alderdomsafsnit af 'Klovn'. Smerteligt intens, som var det Bergman light.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Blaze about? Toggle content

Blaze is a musical biopic that tells the story of Blaze Foley, a legendary songwriting pioneer of the Texas Outlaw Music movement. The film weaves together three different periods of Foley's life, exploring his love affair with Sybil Rosen, his last dark night on earth, and the impact of his songs and death on his fans, friends, and foes. Braiding re-imagined versions of Foley's past, present, and future, the film pays tribute to his profound highs and lows, and the impressions he left on those who shared his journey. Featuring a star-studded cast, including Ben Dickey, Sam Rockwell, Alia Shawkat, and Kris Kristofferson, Blaze is a bittersweet portrait of a tragically overlooked musical genius.
