Synopsis
Destined for Blues (Skazany na bluesa, 2005) is a Polish biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM. The subject is Ryszard Riedel — lead vocalist of cult rock-blues band Dżem, whose cracked, unmistakable voice made him one of the most recognizable figures in Polish music. The film tracks his parallel arcs: the music that kept going and the life that kept falling apart.
Director Jan Kidawa-Błoński covers Riedel's family breakups, his long run with alcohol and drugs, and the performances that outlasted all of it. Tomasz Kot plays him without pity or varnish — a man of genuine talent who simply couldn't function off the stage. Grim and honest, the kind of music biopic that refuses a clean ending. Stream Destined for Blues online on iFILM.
