About Mo' Better Blues

Mo' Better Blues is a 1990 American comedy-drama film produced, written, and directed by Spike Lee. It stars Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Lee, Joie Lee, Giancarlo Esposito, Cynda Williams, John Turturro, Bill Nunn, and Dick Anthony Williams. It follows a period in the life of fictional jazz trumpeter Bleek Gilliam as a series of bad decisions result in his jeopardizing both his relationships and his playing career. The film focuses on themes of friendship, loyalty, honesty, cause-and-effect, and ultimately salvation. It features the music of the Branford Marsalis quartet and Terence Blanchard on trumpet. The film was released five months after the death of Robin Harris and is dedicated to his memory, being his final acting role. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, though Lee was accused of antisemitism by several critics and organizations. It was a box office failure, grossing 16 million dollars on a budget of 10 million.
