Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami [DVD]

Product Information

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.

The only downside I can think of is that the game's theme is really secondary to the gameplay/mechanisms. Grace Jones is a great entertainer, and I can’t get enough of watching her perform, whether it be live or in music videos, this collection has BOTH! Please presume that any reference to a digital copy/UV copy will not be applicable, as these are used items. Instead, after a performance that has the formidable singer looking fantastic into her 60s, artful intersections (concert patter laid over footage of Jones swimming in a river sans make-up, or vocal exercises backing footage of a sunset) create a stream-of-consciousness flow not unlike the creative process itself. The 2003 Prince’s Trust Annual Benefit Gala “Fashion Rocks” 10/29/03: Grace Jones performs “Nightclubbing” and 22.Clips show Grace's family-oriented private life, on-stage performances including famous hits 'Slave to the Rhythm' and 'Pull Up to the Bumper', studio recordings and interviews with friends and family discussing her fame and unique, creative personality.

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.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. In Jamaican patois, ‘Bloodlight’ is the red light that illuminates when an artist is recording, and ‘Bami’ mean bread, the substance of daily life. Larger than life, wild, scary and androgynous, Grace Jones plays all these parts yet here we also discover her as lover, daughter, mother, sister and even grandmother, allowing us to explore the world inside the icon. Sophie Fiennes’ highly anticipated 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.
