Blaze

2018, Movie, 2h 9min

He was the greatest country singer you’ve (probably) never heard of: a genius, a loser, a philosopher, a drunk, a poet, a rebel, and a ramblin’ man who lived each day of his too-short life on his own terms. With humor and heart, Ethan Hawke unravels the myth of Blaze Foley (Ben Dickey), a gentle Texan troubadour whose incredible talent was married to a roller-coaster personal life. Weaving together the strands of Foley’s complex story—his passionate affair with a bohemian actor (Alia Shawkat); his raucous friendship with fellow hell-raiser Townes Van Zandt (Charlie Sexton); his shocking death; and, of course, the music that made him a legend—BLAZE is an intimate, hugely moving portrait of a musician whose gift deserves to be rediscovered and cherished.
