UK/IrelandThe new documentary Grace Jones “Bloodlight and Bami” shows that Jones is just as interesting off-stage as Grace’s mother Margerie, who recently died, is in the film and Grace was very close to her considering the severe abuse her and her five siblings experienced when they were left behind as children in Spanishtown Jamaica while their parents moved to Syracuse, New York to set up a life for the family. During the film, Grace’s brother the Minister Noel Jones appears in the film and talks about the abuse and how odd Grace was even as a child. One of the most powerful points Grace was always ahead of her time and right on time at the same time which is what makes her so interesting.She does address her masculine side and makes an interesting statement during the film about it. She admits the stark feminine contrast on stage is the character of a psychological experience There is a scene where Grace has on a black suit with an odd hat and complains to the producer of the video that male dancers?”Since it’s a documentary I don’t want to give too much more away except that After a few hits, this can create a lifetime of residuals. There could have been a bit more coverage from her family and even a couple of close friends. There wasn’t a lot of coverage on how Grace got started in the industry and there could have been more wisdom and lesson’s learned over the years discussed. Grace is still performing and considered an icon but She’s been a performer for more than 40 years. It’s great that Grace doesn’t take herself to seriously but
GRACE JONES: BLOODLIGHT AND BAMI, a new documentary that takes audiences on an electrifying journey through the public and private worlds of pop culture mega-icon Grace Jones.A larger-than-life entertainer, an androgynous glam-pop diva, an unpredictable media presence––Grace Jones is all these things and more. Sophie Fiennes’s documentary goes beyond the traditional music biography, offering a portrait as stylish and unconventional as its subject. Taking us home to Jamaica,the studio with long-time collaborators Sly & Robbie, and behind-the-scenes at shows all around the world, the film reveals Jones as lover, daughter, mother, and businesswoman. But the stage is the fixed point to which the film returns, with eye-popping performances of “Slave to the Rhythm,” “Pull Up to the Bumper,” “Love is the Drug,” and more. Jones herself has said watching the film “will be like seeing me almost naked” and, indeed, Fiennes’s treatment is every bit as genre-bending as its subject, untamed by neither age nor life itself.GRACE JONES: BLOODLIGHT AND BAMI premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival and will open April 13 in New York and April 20 in Los Angeles with a theatrical national rollout to follow. GRACE JONES: BLOODLIGHT AND BAMI is a Kino Lorber release.
