Goodbye Sultan Jazz Club, hello Sing Jazz Club.
"It's not jazz that's killed these clubs," says creative director David Smith.
Blue won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in May 2013, after which it was commercially released in France and the US in October and in the UK in November. So why are we only seeing it on the big screen now? Probably all the red tape between the film’s distributor and the MDA, which rejected the original cut due to the extensive—both in terms of duration and, um, variety—lesbian sex scenes. In case you were wondering (of course you were), these by-now-infamous scenes won’t be in the local version. But the film is pretty solid nonetheless.
