Plot
“Blaze” is an autobiographical drama based on the life of country musician Blaze Foley (1949 – 1989). The film is inspired from a memoir written by Sibil Rosen named “Living In the Woods in a Tree: Remembering Blaze.” The film describes three time periods of Blaze’s life, the first time period is of his love story with Sybil Rosen, the second time period is of his last night on Earth, and the third time period shows the impact of his death on his music, fans, family, and friends. Sybil Rosen was Blaze’s muse, and she was the inspiration behind most of his music, but their relationship was torn apart by Blaze’s music tours and heavy drinking. Blaze spent his last night in a bar in Austin recording a live album. This time period showed how much he had changed without Sybil in his life.
Star Performance
Ben Dickey as Blaze Foley and Alia Shawkat as Sybil Rosen give spectacular performances. Their chemistry is insane and their scenes together are absolute perfection.
Analysis
Ethan Hawke has done well staying true to the roots of Blaze’s life. He has presented his life not merely as a chronicle but as the musical masterpieces he left us with. The film features Foley’s songs as well as a few montage pieces which are absolutely stunning.
