Wynton Marsalis with Cecile Licad and All-Star Jazz Ensemble

A modern reimagining of early silent film in the Chaplin tradition, Louis follows a six-year-old Louis Armstrong (Anthony Coleman) and his adventures on the streets of New Orleans in 1907 as he dreams of being a musician and navigates the seamier side of life in the Big Easy. Directed by Dan Pritzker (Bolden) and gorgeously photographed in sepia tones by the legendary cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond (The Deer Hunter, Deliverance, Close Encounters of the Third Kind), Louis celebrates the deep musical heritage of New Orleans, featuring an original score by Wynton Marsalis.
