Synopsis: Four-time Academy Award® nominee Jeff Bridges stars as the richly comic, semi-tragic romantic anti-hero Bad Blake in the debut feature film Crazy Heart from writer-director Scott Cooper. Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who's had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart.
This fantastic film features original music from Fort Worth natives T Bone Burnett and Stephen Bruton. Bruton, who passed away last year, was remembered at the 2009 LSIFF when a new award was dedicated in his name to honor artists whose roots were in music but had made successful forays into film.
