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.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
