Inspired by the life of Hank Garland, Crazy is the story of a<br />
legendary guitar player who emerged from Nashville in the<br />
1950’s. Blessed with incomparable, natural talent, Hank quickly<br />
established his reputation as the finest session player in<br />
Nashville. Artists such as Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, The Everly<br />
Brothers and Elvis all sought Hank for their recordings. Moving<br />
effortlessly from country, to rock-a-billy, to jazz, Hank was<br />
also recognized by the likes of Dave Bruebeck, Gary Burton,<br />
Joe Morello and Joe Benjamin. The 50’s Nashville scene was<br />
unique – dominated by a group of executives and musicians<br />
who controlled the industry. Hank, in his pursuit of musical<br />
excellence, often came into conflict with the business, which<br />
he found restrictive and frustrating. But it was his relationship<br />
with his wife, Evelyn, which may have led to his demise.<br />
Director Sivio Soldini (Bread and Tulips) again tackles the<br />
subject of middle aged women undergoing transformations. Elsa<br />
is an aspiring art historian who has returned to school to get her<br />
degree; she passes much of her time engrossed in a delicate<br />
restoration project. As she gently scrapes away at the ceiling<br />
of an ancient chapel, long-hidden angels gradually surface into<br />
the light of day. Much to her surprise, another form of reality<br />
also emerges from the shadows to cast a very different kind of<br />
light into her life. Elsa’s husband, a well-heeled partner in a<br />
shipping firm, abruptly informs her that they have to sell their<br />
beautiful apartment. He has been forced out of the company by<br />
his partner. Little quarrels soon erupt over money, and Soldini<br />
minutely documents the subtle changes that begin to undermine<br />

Beautiful, Evelyn was unlike any woman Hank had ever<br />
encountered when he met her during a show in Chicago. She<br />
excited and fascinated him, and turned a whirlwind romance<br />
into an almost instant marriage. But Evelyn was not all she<br />
appeared to be, and when confronted with the reality of Hank’s<br />
obsessive dedication to his music, began to demonstrate a<br />
desperate need to make him love only her. But 43 years after<br />
Hank disappeared from music, his guitar lives on in a number<br />
of hit records, and one, amazing solo jazz effort.<br />

their relationship. Both of them set out to find work in response<br />
to the upheaval, but inevitably, husband and wife react to their<br />
new circumstances in quite different ways. When they move into<br />
a smaller and cheaper apartment, the schisms in their marriage<br />
begin to show and only when they part do they realize that they<br />
risk losing their most precious possession: the love that binds<br />
them. The sadly familiar travails of Elsa and Michele’s marriage<br />
become wonderfully transcendent in the hands of Soldini and his<br />
two principal actors.<br />
