On May 13th, 1988, legendary jazz trumpeter Chet Baker was found dead on the street below his hotel room in Amsterdam. Detective Lucas is charged to investigate his mysterious death. His exploration of Baker's last days takes him on a dark musical journey in which he crosses the paths of Chet's last lover Sarah, his loyal friend Simon and Doctor Feelgood, Chet's ambiguous admirer. Their testimonies reveal a colorful and complex depiction of a charming, brilliant musician, and a tormented, flawed man struggling with a complex masculine identity. Chet's violent, manipulative side drove his cherished girlfriend away from him, a fact that haunted him to the grave. While penetrating the mind of the infamous trumpeter, Lucas needs to face his own demons and shadows. (Cinemax)

I decided to watch My Foolish Heart because I was curious about the combination of drama and jazz music. But to my unpleasant surprise I found out that this film is one of those I watch for a quarter of an hour without understanding a word of it. The narration techniques used here are completely incomprehensible to me. The investigator seems to be constantly high, there’s a hypnotic jazz musical background and the whole thing has this kind of delirium tremens vibe that makes film experts talk about such films for hours but they fly over my head.
