It's hard to imagine a musical landscape without the talents of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, and Etta James, whose success in the 1950s and '60s still influences artists today. These music legends were all nurtured by Leonard Chess, one of the brothers behind Chess Records. In this historical, music-driven film about the label, Adrien Brody, Jeffrey Wright, Beyonce Knowles, and Mos Def play the famous faces.
CADILLAC RECORDS marks only the second films since director Darnell Martin's audacious debut feature I LIKE IT LIKE THAT in 1994 and features an electrifying score by Spike Lee regular Terence Blanchard.
