The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Miles Ahead? (2015) at the Ivy House on 27 September 2018


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?Miles Ahead? (2015) at 8pm on Thursday, 27 September 2018, at the Ivy House.


This story of a ?metaphorical? meeting in 1979 between legendary jazz musician Miles Davis (Don Cheadle) and Rolling Stone?s fictional Dave Bradon (Ewan McGregor) is set at the moment when Davis? career appears eclipsed. The story purports to tell of a frenzied search for a missing tape of Davis? newest numbers (after 5 musically arid years), but is an excuse to review his personal and musical story. The narrative arc is as eclectic as a jazz solo, weaving back on itself. The story is somewhat chaotic, but the music is amazing.


Director: Don Cheadle

USA

Running time: 100 minutes.

Cert: 15


We say: This may seem like a weird caper movie (the sort that Davis might have liked to be in himself), but the man and his music transcend that. A soundtrack to die for!


Film at 8pm.

    • The one on Chesterfield was sold and they increased cost and some of their best staff left with the previous owner, hasn’t been the same since. Shame really
    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
