woody allen (who i have to confess at the outset i have never been a big fan of) directed this quasi documentary about the life of emmett ray (sean penn) and a 1930 jazz guitarist whose star apparently shone for a while and then quickly faded. penn does a credible job in the role and portraying a complicated and somewhat neurotic man (not unlike allen himself and which perhaps explains why woody would be attracted to this project) who can not maintain relationships and and whose twin passions (aside from guitar playing) were shooting rats at the dump and watching trains. there isn not a great deal of consistency to the story. it narrated in a sense by a series of modern day jazz experts (one of whom is allen himself) and who relate their various theories and interpretations of different events in ray life. the end result is a wildly inconsistent account of the life of a fictional man who seems to have been given a fairly interesting life story by his creators and who probably should have done a better job with it. jazz fans and fans of woody allen will probably enjoy this. as for me. the best i can give it is a negative .
