With a sensual atmosphere and a vein of jazz-infused melancholy, this poignant portrait of American nightlife turns music into a language of desire, disillusionment, and fragile hope. Michelle Pfeiffer has perhaps never been more radiant, grounded, and alluring than she is here - a performance that rightfully earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.

Synopsis

Two brothers travel from venue to venue, performing piano in small-time clubs. When they decide to bring in a singer to refresh their act, her arrival unsettles the delicate balance, both on stage and within their relationship.
