A really good movie

Nowadays, Wim Wenders doesn't do anything really amazing anymore but, back in the 90's, I was a huge fan and tried to watch as many of his movies as possible. This movie was the last one he made in the 90's and it was definitely a great flick. If I'm not mistaken, it was one of the first documentaries I ever saw in the theater and I really loved it. To start with, the music was just downright amazing (eventually, a couple of years later, I had the privilege to see Omara Portuondo in a concert in my hometown in France. Good times!). Those old guys were also quite interesting and I thought that the whole thing was really spellbinding to watch. I'm afraid most of them must have passed away by now (I don't dare to double-check this on the internet... It would be really disheartening.) but it was just pretty neat to see them finally get some deserved recognition, even if it was really late in their career thanks to Ry Cooder for making this great CD and thanks to Wim Wenders for making this documentary which was a great marketing stunt. To conclude, I thought it was a great flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in music.
