Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench

American indie that revolves around the on-off-possibly on again relationship between a jazz trumpet virtuoso and a waitress/performer. Shot in black and white and casually meshing aspects of a Hollywood musical and French New Wave...

"The on, off, and possibly on-again affair of Guy, a young African American jazz trumpeter, and Madeline, a Euro-American waitress and aspiring performer, shapes this lovely, loose pastiche of Hollywood musical, French New Wave, Boston bohemia and urban vérité. From 25-year-old debut filmmaker Damien Chazelle, who matches musical passion with his own exuberant love of a street-savvy camera and black-and-white film."
