The movie:
Roxy Hart is sexy, jazz-loving and dressed to kill. She has a doting, handsome husband and a gold-digging affair with another man who pays and pays, ultimately with his life. When Roxie is put on trial for murder, she hires a lawyer who is both the mafia's mouthpiece and a PR agent. She hits the headlines and the courtroom drama takes its course. This satirical story about sex and murder is an entertaining mixture of humor and melodrama and at the same time a sharp criticism of sleaze journalism. Although Frank Urson was the director, it is essentially the work of Cecil B. DeMille, who apparently felt it inappropriate to take full credit for this cynical and secular story while his religious spectacle THE KING OF KINGS was still in theaters.
The music:
The film is scored by the Satoko Fujii Quartet with Satoko Fujii on piano, Natsuki Tamura on trumpet, Takemura Hayakawa on electric bass and Tatsuya Yoshida on drums. The quartet reunited last year after a break of 15 years and was enthusiastically received: The rhythm section drives the music forward at breakneck speed, sometimes giving it a rock rather than a boppy feel, or something in between. Fujii's compositions are wonderfully complex, with rhythm and tempo changes, long unison lines and brilliantly dense arrangements. Both Fujii and Tamura are in excellent form. This music has a very free character, but the discipline and skill of the four musicians is best shown in the transitions between the improvised and arranged moments.
Before and after the movie, DJ Misterioso will present selected gems from his vinyl collection.
The evening takes place in collaboration with the IOIC - Institute of Incoherent Cinematography and the Misterioso Jazz Club.
