- Synopsis
- Master guitar-playing jazz genius of the 30s, Emmet Ray is only rivalled by the man with whom he is obsessed: the legendary Django Reinhardt. The off-stage Emmet is an arrogant, uncouth womanizer who drinks too much and gets off shooting at rats. One day he meets Hattie, a mute girl with whom he enters a relationship much too serious for his liking.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's all very slight and only sporadically amusing, and it makes Allen's 'Celebrity' from last year look even more underrated than it already is."
-
"It's a loving and comic tribute to a musical era Allen knows well."
-
"Doesn't add up to any big deal. But it's a likable, lively little ditty -- one theme, some clever variations -- that never wears out its welcome."
-
"Sean Penn('s) performances are master classes in the art of character development."
-
"Agreeable eye candy and ear candy, but it's too slight to reach as deep as it thinks it wants to reach."
-
"Isn't Allen's finest work by a long shot, but an undeniable part of its fascination is trying to figure out what -- if anything, even unconsciously -- he's trying to say about how he treated Farrow."
-
"Exquisitely designed, lovingly executed, beautifully scored and played, every hair and note in place, it's a movie full of irony, passion and bluesy riffs."
