What is Born to Be Blue about? Toggle content

Born to Be Blue is a 2015 jazz musical drama film directed by Robert Budreau that tells the story of the legendary West Coast jazz musician Chet Baker. The film is described as "semi-factual, semi-fictional" by Variety's reviewer Andrew Barker because it takes the real-life story of Chet Baker as its starting point but then embellishes it with fictional elements. The film is set largely in 1966 and follows Baker, portrayed by Ethan Hawke, as he tries to make a comeback after years of struggling with drug addiction by taking on a role in a movie about his earlier years when he first tried heroin
