Legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans is unmoored by loss in this hauntingly beautiful black and white portrait. Rejecting the conventions of the biopic, it drifts through grief, memory and withdrawal, tracing a private world shaped as much by absence as by the music itself.

Unfolding in fragments, the film traces a private world of quiet disintegration with remarkable precision. Shot in striking black and white, it renders the early 1960s as authentic artefact rather than just period reconstruction. Less a portrait of genius than a study of absence, it lingers in what cannot be played.
“ … elusive, ruminative and very absorbing.”
