Preview: Louis (2010)

Synopsis:

A street urchin dreams of owning a snazzy new trumpet, but hasn't the money to afford it, but finds his plans interrupted when he meets a young woman in need of help.

• Poster: B+

Review:

Although it's somewhat chaotic, it is a beautiful, colorful extravaganza with plenty to see and is in perfect sync with the accompanying trailer.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

If you can't tell a world class cinematographer worked on this, then you haven't seen very much. The sumptuous visuals are plenty to encourage fans of such things to the theater, but being a silent film even accompanied by a live jazz ensemble, isn't something are going to want to watch.

Oscar Prospects:

The format itself will likely make the entire production ineligible.

Release Date:
