WELCOME TO MUBI

Expectation-defying rap icon André 3000 lends his enchanting presence to this twinkling short film, made to accompany his recent suite of jazzy piano improvisations. Suffused with the energy of André’s nimble-fingered playing, 7 piano sketches saunters with the expressiveness of a silent comedy.

Refracting the iconic image of lo-fi band Pavement into new, hybrid forms, acclaimed filmmaker Alex Ross Perry innovatively distorts the music documentary. Joe Keery stars alongside the ’90s group, toying with their slacker-indie commitment to alternative culture with dazzling, hilarious subversion.

Working with unseen outtakes from a 1969 French TV interview, director Alain Gomis fashions a riveting, sharp-edged essay on the media’s treatment of a genius of jazz piano, Thelonious Monk. Hypnotic, nerve-wrangling, and immersive, Rewind and Play lets the music—and the silence—do the talking.
