Trumpet

A film about music - jazz in this case - as consolation, cure and precise remind of what real matters.

Chioki is a young trumpet interpreter who has the wish to discover the NY jazz world. But his English is far to be fine, in cab he lost his money and passport, he is not in Manhattan but in Brooklyn, the only oasis seems a Latino family party where he drinks ( too much ) beer and , in a unfamiliar city, alone, not knowing the language and the machine translator offering minimal succes , he sings, in night at his trumpet. In morning, beautiful result.

Two essential virtues- the realism of situation - easy to feel more than compasion for the poor young Japanese - and the beautiful performance of Mao Sone. And, sure, the great music, not less.
