The film is the product of director Woody Allen's lifelong love of jazz music. Like Celebrity and Deconstructing Harry, this film aims to explore the subtle relationship between the artist's private life, public life, and music. The protagonist of the film, Emmet Ray, is played by Sean Penn, who interprets Emmet Ray's selfish and cold tragic character to the fullest. Sometimes it is hard to believe that such beautiful music is played by such a hateful person. The film won two nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress at both the 1999 Oscars and Golden Globe Awards.
