Directed by Alain Gomis | 2022
“A gleaming portrait of Monk at work”
—The New York Times
“Alain Gomis is one of the few who could be trusted to assemble something so absorbing.”
—4Columns

A wealth of never-before-seen footage offers a gripping and intimate portrait of Thelonious Monk in Paris, 1969. The legendary pianist and composer arrives for a TV interview before his evening concert, where he is met with racist, colonialist acts both large and small. Edited together by acclaimed Senegalese-French filmmaker Alain Gomis (Félicité) from the show’s rushes, a picture emerges of Monk’s battle to reject the racist stereotypes his interviewer projects onto him. Ending with Monk’s rhapsodic performance that night, Rewind and Play captures the struggle—and triumph—of one of the geniuses of 20th century music.
