  1. ‘It’s the story of what happens when the music stops’: bringing tormented jazz legend Bill Evans to life
    By John Lewis

  2. `Motian noted, "We were supposed to make a record date with Miles [Davis]: the trio, Bill, myself and Scott. ... We were talking to Miles about it, it was all set up, and then Scott got killed and the whole thing got forgotten."`

  5. Louis Malle – „Fahrstuhl zum Schafott“ (1957)

    Ich glaube, der Film ist einfach zu alt, um im Blog nochmal einen Klickstorm auszulösen. Obwohl es eigentlich ein zeitloses Meisterwerk ist. So etwas nennen wir heute „Klassiker“. Auch weil es Filme sind, die es schon länger gibt, als wir auf der Welt sind, und damit aus einer Zeit stammen, die wir heute nicht immer einfach nachvollziehen oder begreifen können. Wobei gerade dieser Film von Louis Malle aus dem Jahr 1957 einer der wichtigsten wäre, um zu verstehen, wie sich die Regeln des Kinos danach verändert haben. (ARTE, Wh.)

  6. I watched this because I have no internet connection this evening. Technicians are investigating, apparently. So, it was time to dip into the Blu-Rays on my shelf.

    Louis Malle’s first film, shot in late-‘50s Paris, starring Jean Moreau in an incredible performance, with a score by #MilesDavis, a Mercedes 300SL W198 “Gullwing,” and an interrogation scene which is nothing but three people with jet black surroundings and heavy top light… CAN IT GET ANY COOLER THAN THAT?

    It’s slow and quiet, but do not let that dissuade you. Pay attention, let things unfold, and it’s only 91 minutes, for goodness sake!

    It’s so good.

    But those croissants M Tavernier insists on having lots more of are clearly… well, you can tell those are bad. There’s no flakiness at all! Bah. What an awful item. Go somewhere else, Julien!

    Highly recommended.

    ★★★★☆
