Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami [DVD]

Product Information

Disco diva from the '70s, cult star, reggae machine, actress ( Conan the Destroyer) and androgynous icon. No sit-down interviews with compatriots, no archival footage, and not much in the way of summation, either. These personal songs link to the film's narrative that follows Grace on a holiday road trip across her native Jamaica. You must not modify the paper or digital copies of any materials you have printed off or downloaded in any way, and you must not use any illustrations, photographs, video or audio sequences or any graphics separately from any accompanying text.

Support our vendors this winter and beyond If you can't visit your local vendor on a regular basis, then the next best way to support them is with a subscription to the Big Issue. Told with Schrader’s trademark cinematic intensity, the revenge thriller tells the story of an ex-military interrogator turned gambler haunted by the ghosts of his past decisions, and features riveting performances from stars Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, Tye Sheridan and Willem Dafoe. A huge pity: the original "One Man Show" is one of the greatest music video packages of all time, but this is just a substandard VHS rip complete with a false aspect ratio. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. If that degree of access doesn't mark this as a documentary like few others, then the razor-sharp artistry with which it is put together should seal the deal.

You may print off one copy, and may download extracts, of any page(s) from our site for your personal reference and you may draw the attention of others within your organisation to material posted on our site. Concert footage looks the best, pretty clear, clean and sharp, with deep, rich colors and good fine details of Jones' face, makeup, costumes and head-wear. By using our site, you indicate that you accept these terms of use and that you agree to abide by them. A Second Commentary Track with director Fiennes and critic Ian Haydn Smith goes into great detail about the production of the documentary. Here we see her behind the mask as a daughter, mother, sister and grandmother, alongside taking to the stage for a specially commissioned performance, with legendary hits including ‘Pull Up to the Bumper’ and ‘Slave to the Rhythm’ showcased in full.

All of this is here for you: the full Grace Jones experience, crafted from the real, to the super-real, to inconsequential observations, wrapped up in superior artifice like one of Jones' outlandish hats, like one of her angry, stentorian, sensuous performances, everything left on the floor for you, past, present, and future. 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. DTS-HD Master Audio track sounds fantastic where it should be, and is perfectly serviceable in other areas.

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 includes, without limitation, direct loss, loss of business or profits (whether or not the loss of such profits was foreseeable, arose in the normal course of things or you have advised this Company of the possibility of such potential loss), damage caused to your computer, computer software, systems and programs and the data thereon or any other direct or indirect, consequential and incidental damages. The 2003 Prince’s Trust Annual Benefit Gala “Fashion Rocks” 10/29/03: Grace Jones performs “Nightclubbing” and 22. First off is a Commentary Track with Jones, director Sophie Fiennes, and Judith Casselberry, moderated by Associate Professor of Africana Studies from Bowdoin College.

Yet here we also discover her as a lover, daughter, mother, sister and even grandmother, as she submits herself to our gaze and allows us to understand what constitutes her mask.Later with Jools Holland 10/31/08: Grace Jones performs THREE live songs over the course of the program along with THREE different costume changes as well. Just as Jones onstage is vaguely mechanic and superhuman in her dead-funky songs, so is she vulnerable, real, funny and fierce throughout the rest of the documentary. It's a look back to another time, one that seems much further removed than the constantly evolving modernism of her Compass Point trilogy.
