The Blues (2003)
28/09/2003 (US)Martin Scorsese nous offre un voyage depuis les rives du fleuve Niger, au Mali, jusqu'aux champs de coton et aux arrière-salles bricolées du delta du Mississippi afin de retracer les origines du blues. Il nous livre un cocktail lyrique de performances originales (dont celles d'Ali Farka Touré, Salif Keita, Habib Koité, Taj Mahal, Corey Harris, Othar Turner) et d'images d'archives rarissimes.
