I CALLED HIM MORGAN
Sweden, 2016
Director: Kasper Collin
1 hour 30 minutes
On the evening of Friday, February 19, 1972, Helen Morgan walked into a bar in New York's East Village with a gun in her purse. She came to meet her husband, the great jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan. They argued, he threw her out of the bar. Moments later she went back in, shot Lee and calmly handed over the weapon... Decades later, Helen allowed herself to be interviewed about life with the talented but unstable musician. These interviews form the basis for this deeply moving and beautifully produced documentary film from Swedish Kasper Collin, who previously made "My Name is Albert Ayler".
