- Notes:
- This film journeys through the public and private worlds of pop culture mega-icon Grace Jones and contrasts musical sequences with intimate personal footage. A larger-than-life entertainer, an androgynous glam-pop diva, an unpredictable media presence - Grace Jones is all these things and more. Fiennes’s documentary goes beyond the traditional music biography, offering a portrait as stylish and unconventional as its subject. Taking us home with her to Jamaica, into the studio with longtime collaborators Sly & Robbie, and backstage at gigs 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.
Supplemental features include: audio commentary with Grace Jones, director Sophie Fiennes, and Judith S. Casselberry, Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Bowdoin College; audio commentary with director Sophie Fiennes and critic Ian Haydn Smith; Q&A with Grace Jones and ophie Fiennes; and the trailer.
