a movie about trumpet sounds in the sky

The sounds of a jazzy trumpet are visualised.

A trumpet player in a radio orchestra falls asleep during a commercial and dreams he's Athanael, an angel deputized to blow the Last Trumpet at exactly midnight on Earth, thus marking the end of the world.

Reviewers found this art film extraordinarily grating even for a film of the "high art" genre but admitted that some of its imagery was striking and original. The ostensible subject of this basically storyless film, shot with black-and-white and color segments, is the depressing, aimless, and futureless life of a sodden former trumpet player in the slummiest sections of Los Angeles. However, the main theme seems to be the imagery the film captures of the bleakest and most decayed portions of that famous city. Another plus is the film's jazz-oriented soundtrack.

An aging jazzman must journey through his past and make peace with his personal demons, lest they steal from him the magic of making music. A touching tale of the struggle familiar to any artist, told through a bravura blend of animation styles.

A Japanese trumpet player on a cultural pilgrimage to discover New York City jazz experiences a hell of a night after being lost in Brooklyn.

A film grotesque whose protagonist is a poor clerk lost in the modern world. He buys a trumpet to express his personality via music.
