Round Midnight (1986) starring Dexter Gordon, Francois Cluzet. In 1959, expatriate Americans play jazz in Paris. Legendary saxophonist Dale Turner (Gordon), who has substance-abuse issues, is befriended by Frenchman Francis Borler (Cluzet). Their relationship proves beneficial for both of them. Then Turner decides it's time to go home -- back to New York. This movie is filled with music, and Herbie Hancock won an Oscar for the original score. The editing seemed a little choppy to me, but for the most part I enjoyed watching it. There are subtitles in English, as well as closed captions. Grade: B+
