Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami

The Worlds of Pop Cultural Icon Grace Jones

Cast: Grace Jones, Jean-Paul Goude, Sly & Robbie
Director: Sophie Fiennes
Genre: Documentary
Running Time: 115 minutes

Synopsis: With a Grace Jones tour about to land across Australia and New Zealand, Umbrella Entertainment will release the definitive documentary about the iconic performer in cinemas across both countries.

Larger than life, fierce and androgynous – Grace Jones plays all these parts. 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.

The film includes unique performances of her iconic hits Slave To The Rhythm"and Pull Up To The Bumper as well as more recent autobiographical tracks, Williams' Blood and Hurricane. These personal songs link to the film's narrative that follows Grace on a road trip across her native Jamaica.

This is a Grace we have not seen before, someone who reminds us of what it is to dare to be truly alive. In all her apparent contradictions, Grace Jones may appear an exception, but she is also a point of identification: she is the exception that proves the rule.

Director Sophie Fiennes (The Pervert's Guide to Cinema) creates a powerful cinematic experience, contrasting musical sequences with intimate personal footage and reaching beyond the iconic mask.
