@gabeufo: jeanne moreau and the trumpet score of miles davis 🎼 Elevator to the Gallows is a 1958 French crime thriller film directed by Louis Malle in his directorial debut. The film stars Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet as lovers whose murder plot starts to unravel after Ronet becomes trapped in an elevator. Associated by some critics with film noir, the film is considered an important work in establishing the French New Wave and the New Modern Cinema. What transformed this film into a classic wasn't its story, but the sequences of Jeanne Moreau walking through the streets of Paris with a score by American musician Miles Davis, which was made in a way never done before. In the words of Stéphane Lerouge for a Cannes Classics interview, the score was not written: ‘’Davis only watched the film once or twice and took a few notes, then brought his musicians together. Three days later the recording session began. They improvised looking at the screen, based on sequences selected by Louis.'' Elevator to the Gallows was the first original jazz soundtrack to be improvised based on a film’s images. #jeannemoreau #frenchnewwave #50smovies #filmedit #jazzmusic
