Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami [DVD]

Product Information

Signed to Chris Blackwell's Island Records, Jones' three albums Portfolio, Fame and Muse were produced by none other than Tom Moulton, 'the father of the disco mix,' who earned his title by assembling the first continuous mix side of an album in 1974 with Gloria Gaynor's Never Can Say Goodbye. The film includes Grace's unique performances singing iconic hits such as Slave To The Rhythm, Pull Up To The Bumper, as well as the more recent autobiographical tracks Williams Bloods and Hurricane. 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.

When Jones is speaking with family and friends around a kitchen table, the range is muted, but everything is clear and clean and easy to understand. No waiver of any of the provisions of this or any Agreement shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be such and signed by both Parties. Details are adequate in these scenes, while the fly-on-the-wall nature of the footage makes it, if not reference quality, at least much more immediate. It's a look back to another time, one that seems much further removed than the constantly evolving modernism of her Compass Point trilogy. No standard music documentary this, Bloodlight is an impromptu, unexpected, secret window into Jones' life, enveloped in concert footage specific to this film.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 2003 Prince’s Trust Annual Benefit Gala “Fashion Rocks” 10/29/03: Grace Jones performs “Nightclubbing” and 22. The stage is where her most extreme embodiments are realised and her theatrical imagination lets loose: this is where the musical of her life is played out.

Jones herself has said watching the film “will be like seeing me almost naked” and, indeed, Fiennes’s treatment is every bit as definition-defying as its subject, untamed by either age or life itself. 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.
