Round Midnight (Criterion Collection) (Blu-ray)

In the 1950s, noted New York saxophonist Dale Turner (Dexter Gordon) was losing his battles with substance abuse, and sought a needed change of scenery in Paris. Befriended by a local fan, graphic artist Francis Borler (Francois Cluzet), Dale gets clean... but whether he can maintain once back in the States, even with Francis' help, might be another matter.
