In one of the best yet most underrated moments of his late period, Woody Allen takes inspiration from the life and work of legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt for a bittersweet and moving mockumentary that led to the star duo's Oscar nominations.

Emmett Ray, one of the finest jazz musicians in 1930s America, is in his personal life an alcoholic, a gambler, irresponsible and self-absorbed. But all of that until the moment he meets the deaf-mute and good-natured Hattie, who adores him and his music.
