Too Late Blues
The Bold Story Of A Man Caught Between Two Strange Loves!
Directed by John Cassavetes
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A character-driven drama about an idealistic jazz musician navigating artistic integrity, romantic entanglement, and masculine identity in a world that demands compromise.
Ghost is an ideological musician and leader of a jazz band who would rather play his blues in the park to the birds than compromise himself. His peripatetic performances lead him to cross paths with a singer, while his masculinity is thrown into question following a violent brawl.
