Everybody Digs Bill Evans (15)

— ,Cinemas
In black and white, two musicians look at each other through the raised lid of a piano, at which one sits while the other plays a large string instrument.

This award-winning biographical drama follows the famous jazz pianist and composer Bill Evans (Anders Danielsen Lie) through grief, love, genius and the call to music.

1961. Bill Evans is playing with what he considers the perfect musical trio until tragedy strikes in the premature death of his bass player, Scott LaFaro – his musical soulmate. Traumatised by grief, Evans stops playing for the first time since his childhood.

A tug-of-war between personal torment and the seemingly safer haven of familial love will see Evans oscillate between New York and suburbia, his genius always bubbling beneath the surface.

Directed by Grant Gee (winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 2026 Berlin Film Festival) and starring Anders Danielsen Lie, Bill Pullman and Laurie Metcalf, the film is written by Mark O’Halloran and based on Owen Martell’s novel Intermission.
