Film
Mingus
While awaiting eviction from his New York flat, the bassist and self-proclaimed “underdog” holds court for Thomas Reichman’s camera on everything from his family to the value of the low end. You know how the film is going to end, and yet the sight of the jazz legend being asked to vacate the premises still breaks your heart.
