MFAH Event Page
The directorial debut of Louis Malle, this atmospheric thriller features the role that catapulted the career of actress Jeanne Moreau. With rich black-and-white cinematography by Henri Decaë and an evocative musical score by jazz great Miles Davis, this noir-meets-New-Wave film marked a turning point in French cinema, and its legendary score signaled new musical directions for Davis.
Preceded by a 1959 filmed recording of Davis performing with a quintet including John Coltrane and the Gil Evans Orchestra
