Bird

USA 1988 | 163 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

The life of legendary saxophonist of 1950s be-bop, the late Charlie "Bird" Parker. The film's strengths lie in its fidelity to the details of Parker's life and its avoidance of crude psycho-analysis and needless sentimentality. The soundtrack is a blend of Parker's original recordings and more recent performances.
