MILES AHEAD is explosive, passionate, romantic and provocative! Actor Don Cheadle is Miles Davis incarnate. Cheadle’s directorial debut, a decade in the making, is truly a masterpiece. Set in the late 1970s, this creative music biopic captures the legendary Miles Davis (1926-1991) personal life, sense of humor and experience during his absence with the recording industry that ultimately led him to take the law into his own hands. Miles music such as Bitches Brew, Kind of Blue, Agharta and others cleverly guided and defined the story. This pioneering genius who coined the term social music, says, “When you’re creating your own shit, man, even the sky ain’t the limit.”
MILES AHEAD, directed by Don Cheadle | Sony Pictures Classics | USA | 2015 | 100 min | Music Biopic | World Premiere, 53rd New York Film Festival Closing Night, in theaters, 2016.
