This film – just shown at the Sheffield Documentary Festival – has been called many things by both professional critics and early viewers: an offbeat biopic, a musical pageant, a jazz geek lecture, a punchy portrait of an indomitable young woman and a picture of a singular artist who most would agree, dramatically pushed the artistic boundaries into new areas of creativity. It presents as a drama the true story of the extraordinary Vera Brandes, a not untypical rebellious teenager – played by Mala Emde – who discovers the unbridled joy of music; in this case, jazz, partly thanks to a chance encounter with British jazz doyen, Ronnie Scott. She then turns herself through sometimes brute but never unfocused force of will into a concert promoter, an impresario who manages to book celebrated American pianist Keith Jarrett for a late night concert in the Cologne Opera House. In spite of her war veteran father’s vehement, sometimes abusive, disapproval, she arranges the gig but has to surmount a daunting number of obstacles to make the unlikely concert a success.
