The Cotton Club (1984)

My rating: 7/10

I enjoyed this way more than I expected - it feels a lot less stuffy and self-important than most of the Coppola movies I've seen, which I think may be partly due to its focus on the entertainment industry at the time. There's a bunch of great song and dance numbers in there, which work nicely to break up the gangster shenanigans.

The Cotton Club (1984). Meet the jazz musicians, dancers, owner, and guests (like gangster Dutch Schultz) of The Cotton Club in 1928-1930s Harlem.

Man, but Francis Ford Coppola knows how to direct a musical. The plot of this one's a bit all over the place, but the sequences where he throws story to the wind and leans into the energy of performance and the pace of the music are some straight up movie magic. Also I kind of wish the entire movie had been about Gregory Hines and Lonette McKee's characters. 7/10.
