Lift to the ScaffoldJAZZ-PUNK Weekend |
(Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud) Louis Malle / 1957 / France / 92min-B&W-PG / with Jeanne Moreau, Lino Ventura. Music: Miles Davis |
This highly atmospheric Black&White thriller was the late Louis Malle's debut. Its a film noir tale of two lovers conspiring to commit murder. Miles Davis, one of the most innovative and distinctive jazz musicians of all time, contributes a spine-tingling soundtrack. It was Davis's involvement with this film that led him to investigate a more minimal approach to music.
