" Notes: To be honest, it is another movie I have seen ages ago and I should definitely check it out again at some point. Well, the soundtrack provided by Miles Davis might actually be more famous than the movie itself (In fact, my father had this soundtrack on a LP and I'm pretty sure I listened to it before I even watched the damned thing).
