Big Men, Little Men

About This Movie

So, 'Big Men, Little Men' from '95 is an intriguing little drama that really captures the essence of jazz culture, especially in a time and place where it wasn’t exactly embraced. The pacing feels deliberate, letting you soak up the atmosphere of 1930s Sweden—think of the cold landscapes juxtaposed with the warmth of jazz. The performances by the three leads are quite heartfelt, each portraying a distinct passion for music amidst societal pushback. It’s interesting how their journey to New York unfolds, bringing a sense of hope and ambition. The film resonates with themes of friendship and the struggle for artistic expression. Not a lot of flash, but there's this raw honesty that makes it worth a watch, especially for jazz enthusiasts.
