Andre Holland, Joanna Kulig and Amandla Stenberg star in Damien Chazelle's Netflix series about a Paris jazz club. Read the review of 'The Eddy':
, a multi-cultural family drama shot like cinema, which closed Berlin’s popular TV series sidebar. Not everyone in the audience was likely to be a dyed-in-the-wool jazz aficionado, but most came away from the screening of the first two episodes, directed by’s Damien Chazelle and written by Jack Thorne, with some rudimentary ideas of how a new song is constructed out of a few notes until it grows into a complex tune that packs the house.
A former jazz musician who one suspects will play again before the series ends, Elliot has invested his savings in the club along with his extroverted French partner Farid . While the outgoing Farid takes care of business, Elliot handles the creative part of the club, which involves booking class acts and developing a group he thinks is potentially good enough to get recorded on a label like Franck Levy’s . But so far no dice.
The first episode ends with the setting well established, thanks to a constantly moving camera that nervously picks up details of the cool, cluttered sets as it roams the faces in the club and pinpoints the weak spots of each character. As the club’s business manager, Farid hides his worries but he's in a tight spot with debts that Elliot doesn’t know about or want to know about.
