| With a gorgeous soundtrack by two of this century’s master musicians - ebullient jazz composer Duke Ellington, and soundtrack maestro John Barry - and lushly-stylised cinematography by the Godfather Godfather, Cotton Club simply exudes STYLE!
Cotton Club integrates superbly high-spirited jazz with a story - though occasionally lacking cohesion - that oozes conflict and drama; spiced with fabulous dance sequences, a meticulous reconstruction of the Ellington-era Cotton Club, and tied together by Francis Ford Coppola in a wonderfully stylish package, 'Cotton Club' is essential sense-of-life viewing.
