Steam on the River
Details
Sinopsis
Like the steam that silently appears and then disappears over a flowing river, the life of every human is just as fleeting, and this particularly applies in the case of artists. The transience of their fame is the main topic of this documentary, which provides a glimpse into the lives of three ageing jazzmen: trumpeter Laco Deczi, saxophonist ĽubomĆr TamaÅ”koviÄ, and contrabass player JĆ”n Jankeje, who fled from the Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia to the West, where their stars shone alongside those of the worldās famous musicians.

Editor's Take
The soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission. 'Steam on the River' is an auditory and visual feast.
