Jazz musician Moriyama is on his way to the break-through performance of his career, when a gang related murder finds him in the wrong place at the wrong time. Together with fellow innocent Michelle Reis (Fallen Angels) they embark on a harried chase for evidence to clear themselves. All the while struggling to make it to the gig on time. Confusion, action, camaraderie and unexpected clarity ensue. Set in the milieu of the Tokyo jazz scene, this stylish Asian-noir utilizes all the elements of the genre in this exciting one night romp through Tokyo. Musically invigorating and visually tantalizing, Round About Midnight expertly spins new rhythms off an old theme. Directed by Makoto Wada. With Hiroyuki Sanada, Michelle Reis, Akira Emoto.
