Round Midnight, directed by Bertrand Tavernier, is a heartfelt drama celebrating the beauty and struggles of jazz musicians. Starring legendary saxophonist Dexter Gordon as Dale Turner, the film follows a talented but troubled musician battling addiction. Leaving behind his past in America, Turner moves to Paris, where he finds solace in a friendship with a young Frenchman, Francis Borler (François Cluzet). As Borler tries to help him overcome his self-destructive habits, their relationship becomes a powerful story of redemption, music, and the enduring spirit of jazz.
