Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami [DVD]

Product Information

Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami takes the viewer on an intimate and electrifying journey that moves between four cinematic layers performance, family, artist and traveller to explore the fascinating world of this pop cultural phenomenon. No sit-down interviews with compatriots, no archival footage, and not much in the way of summation, either. This is the music that established Jones; glossily theatrical, toughly camp party pieces with portentous overtones.

Yet here we discover her as lover, daughter, mother, sister and even grandmother, as she submits herself to our gaze and allows us to understand what constitutes her mask.Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami weaves together Jones’ public and private life, as she moves effortlessly between different facets: she is gypsy, artist and partying hedonist, warm and funny but also a fierce and tenacious businesswoman. This is most stunningly seen as a Jones song comes to light through interconnected footage of Jones fighting for studio time, all the way through to performance of the song on stage.
