”One of the greatest movies about jazz.”
—The New Yorker

“Original and thoughtful … a very special first feature, with a feeling for the music that’s boldly translated into film style.”
—The Chicago Reader

Following his release from prison, musician Eddie Warmack seeks redemption through jazz while avoiding a corrupt industry intent on exploiting art for profit. Rarely screened, Larry Clark’s PASSING THROUGH is a cry for liberation as refined and crisp as a saxophone’s tone. Scored by Horace Tapscott and featuring music by Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, and Sun Ra. Preceded by Charles Burnett’s short WHEN IT RAINS (13 min).
