Cadillac Records

Writer and director Darnell Martin brings the story of Chess Records and its artists in this musical drama. The legendary and visionary Leonard Chess changed the world by signing legends such as Muddy Waters, Etta James and Chuck Berry amongst others that gave birth to Rock and Roll before it was hijacked by the white men like the Beach Boys and Elvis. Martin found an excellent cast for this ensemble including Adrian Brody, Jeffrey Wright and Beyoncé Knowles who finally delivers the sparks that she was supposed to in "Dreamgirls". The real highlight of the film is the music which is astonishing and performed by the actors. YRCinema's coverage of current releases.
