Ethan Hawke, Born to Be Blue

Hear the cool California horn and go into the deep haze in this episode detailing Born to Be Blue, where Ethan Hawke plays American jazz trumpeter Chet Baker. Writer-director Robert Budreau, zeros in on Baker's career in the mid-60s, and his addiction to both the trumpet and heroin. Hawke's enigmatic performance combined with Budreau's focused perspective make Born to Be Blue a surprising "anti-biopic."
