Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser 1988 American documentary film ITALIAN SUBTITLES
Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser is a 1988 American documentary film about the life of bebop pianist and composer Thelonious Monk. Directed by Charlotte Zwerin, it features live performances by Monk and his group, and posthumous interviews with friends and family.[2] The film was created when a large amount of archived footage of Monk was found in the 1980s.[3]
The film, made by Clint Eastwood’s production company Malpaso Productions, is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures; Eastwood served as executive producer.
In 2017, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant“.[4]
After being commissioned by West German public television in 1967 to create a one-hour special film on Thelonious Monk, director and cinematographer Christian Blackwood and his brother Michael Blackwood closely followed Monk for six months as he travelled around New York, Atlanta, and this project arose thirteen hours of outtakes, showing live performances by Monk and his band along with the only footage of Monk offstage. The footage was stored for almost two decades after the one-hour special, which was only broadcast in Germany, was aired.[6]
