Just Friends is a gem, really. Set in 1950s Antwerp, it captures the struggles of a jazz musician, Jack, and his mates trying to make a name for themselves. You feel the weight of their dreams and the bittersweet reality of life as they play weddings and tea parties. The film's atmosphere is a blend of hope and humor, offering both touching moments and a bit of absurdity. The performances are raw and genuine, underscoring the passion they have for music despite the obstacles. It’s interesting how the saxophone becomes almost a character itself, weaving through their ups and downs. Not your typical jazz film; it’s more about the journey than the destination.
