This wildly entertaining exploration of Miles Davis features a career defining performance by Oscar nominee Don Cheadle in the title role. Also Cheadle’s directorial debut, MILES AHEAD is a no-holds-barred portrait of a singular artist in crisis. In the midst of a dazzling career at the forefront of modern jazz innovation, Miles Davis virtually disappears from public view in the late 1970s. Alone in his home, he is beset by chronic pain, his musical voice numbed by drugs, his mind haunted by unsettling ghosts from the past. A wily music reporter (Ewan McGregor) forces his way into Davis’ house. Over the next couple of days, the two men embark on a sometimes harrowing adventure to recover a stolen tape of the musician’s latest compositions.
