Born to Be Blue

Ethan Hawke stars as Chet Baker, the legendary trumpeter and singer who, after becoming a jazz icon in the 1950s, became equally famous for his drug addiction.
Born to be Blue re-imagines Baker's life as a mixture of fact and fiction, picking up his story late in his career when, after years of heroin abuse, financial loss, and public disgrace, he attempts to stage a comeback. His hopes for a bright future are suddenly darkened when he suffers a brutal beating in a parking lot after a gig.
