故事讲述法国著名吉他手姜戈·莱恩哈特在二战期间与占领巴黎的纳粹分子抗争的故事(他和家人属于受德国纳粹迫害的辛提族人)。莱恩哈特早年因一次火灾事故致左手无名指和小指部分残疾,但却成为了法国爵士界的传奇、吉普赛摇摆乐的代表人物。Django Reinhardt was one of the most brilliant pioneers of European jazz and the father of Gypsy Swing. "Django" grippingly portrays one chapter in the musician's eventful life and is a poignant tale of survival. Constant danger, flight and the atrocities committed against his family could not make him stop playing.
