Gives a great window into something extraordinary and a very unique and beautiful person
An incredible film about an incredible life...
I highly recommend this decades-spanning, engrossing, hilarious, sad, and informative documentary to all music fans, whether you liked Davis beforehand or not.
For those with only a glancing knowledge or none at all, this is as good an introduction as you could want.
As someone who’s absorbed bits and pieces of the Miles Davis story over the years but never felt like I had the big picture, I found “Birth of the Cool” to be intensely gratifying. Nelson is a filmmaker with a sixth sense for how to nudge history into the present.
