Review of Bird (1988) by Joel A — 13 Sep 2016
A clear passion project for director Clint Eastwood on his jazz hero Charlie 'Bird' Parker focusing on his phenomenal talent but self destructing addictive nature.
Forest Whitaker was stellar cast as Bird & brought much life to the character. The jazz scene back then was a passion filled environment but rather dingy & disconnected to popular music circles.
Although not a wildly entertaining & fast moving film it was interesting & engaging piece of cinema. Well worth a watch if your Eastwood Enthusiast.
