Note de OllieZ
I am shocked this film has such a low IMDb score! I watched both this and Crooklyn the past few days, and this is the better film.
It has all the flaws of Lee's films - tonally all over the place and a tad overlong.
But that's why I love Lee. He is always interesting. I love Inside Man, a more conventional film for Lee, but Mo' Better Blues is far more personal. This is quite clearly a work of love for the director. The cinematography is stunning. The fast dolly shots are similar to that of Scorsese and Hitchcock. The colour is wonderful too, full of rich blues and reds on the New York skyline.
The story is pretty good too, though you will have seen it all before. The tale of a jazz musician and his band, through their highs and lows: in terms of live and music. The acting is all round great, headed by Denzel Washington as Bleek, the artist who loves the music more than his friends. Wesley Snipes is Shadow Henderson. This is back when Snipes didn't have to phone in a performance in a silly action film. Lee himself, and Joie Lee also give fine support.
Let's not forget the music, which is what the film revolves around anyway. If you don't like jazz, I guess this film isn't for you. I myself liked it, it had me tapping my feet all the through.
The film is a little long and can sometimes lose its way, but this is a very enjoyable film, a solid effort from Spike Lee.

Although I wouldn't say this is a great Lee film, it is still very solid. There isn't a story as such, instead it is a love letter to childhood and family life in Brooklyn. Imagine Radio Days, including the sentimental streak.
The actors are great and this movie only goes to prove that Delroy Lindo is one of the best actors around. Zelda Harris as the young girl, Troy, is also brilliant. Alfre Woodard is the pivot of the film, around which most of the film revolves around - even if she has less than Troy.
Tonally the film doesn't quite click. Sometimes the original music is quite sour and does not fit with the images. Some scenes seem forced.
But the amazing soundtrack helps put things right.
Even though the film isn't perfect, it has a great soundtrack and a very unique take on things.

A tender, witty and often raw coming-of-age film from Louis Malle.
The film follows Laurent, a 14 year old boy, who is coming to terms with love and sex.
The relationship between the son and his mother is played with brilliant conviction.
The music score has some great jazz on it, from Parker to Gillespie.
Le Soufflé au Cour also has a great script, where the characters are totally believable and have depths beyond your average film-fare. The actors don't need to have a tic or a physical disability to stun you.
The pacing of the film is often very slow and doesn't have much direction, but that doesn't matter.
This is a subtle film, one which I am sure you will enjoy.
