Profile of Louis

The mood of Louis is atmospheric, stylized, and offbeat. The plot centers around a prodigy, following your dreams, and the life of a musician. It is a drama, independent, and period movie. Stylistically, Louis is a silent production. In approach, it is realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in a small town. Louis is set in New Orleans. It happens in the 1900s. Visually, it is black and white. The musical score of Louis is jazz. It is drawn from a biography. Note that it includes nudity and sexual content.

Summary of Louis

A silent film directed by Dan Pritzker and starring Jackie Earle Haley and Shanti Lowry, Louis will premiere in US cities in late August with live musical accompaniment by Wynton Marsalis, renowned pianist Cecile Licad and a 10-piece all-star jazz ensemble. Marsalis will play a score comprised primarily of his own compositions. Licad will play the music of 19th century American composer L.M. Gottschalk. The group will perform live with the film in a series of special performances in New York City, Chicago, Washington DC, Detroit and Philadelphia.

A musical fantasy
In this movie we see the young Louis Armstrong, growing up to become the music legend we all know. The film features wonderful jazz numbers and tells the story originally and masterfully.
A one of a kind experience!
This movie is not a usual movie. It’s about Louis Armstrong and his childhood. The film is made as a silent movie, a real enchanting film, with a jazz soundtrack and a wonderful cast – what more can you ask for?
