Sean Penn, Samantha Morton and Uma Thurman star in this Oscar nominated comedy drama focused on the life of fictional jazz guitarist Emmet Ray. Ray is an irresponsible, free-spending, arrogant, obnoxious, alcohol-abusing, miserable human being, who was also arguably the best guitarist in the world. We follow Ray's life: bouts of getting drunk; his bizarre hobbies of shooting rats and watching passing trains; his dreams of love, fame and fortune; his strange obsession with the better-known guitarist Django Reinhardt; and of course, playing his beautiful music.
