In the midst of a dazzling and prolific career at the forefront of modern jazz innovation, Miles Davis disappears from public view for a period of five years in the late 1970s. Alone and holed up in his home, he is beset by chronic pain from a deteriorating hip, his musical voice stifled and numbed by drugs and medications, and his mind haunted my unsettling ghosts from the past.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A Real Labor of Love ... a Career-best Performance from Don Cheadle submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 23, 2020, 9:44am Cheadle's first brave thing is discarded that legendary music biopic structure of cradle to grave; rather, this is just a day in the life of Miles Davis, but what a day it ends up being. It's set in the late 70s--- Davis is a bit washed up ... he's noodling around in his basement, making music, hoovering up cocaine, and shouting at anyone who comes to his door. You'll get flashbacks to his classic years, and you'll get to hear all that great jazz music.
