Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami

About the movie

Larger than life, wild, scary and androgynous – Grace Jones plays all these parts. 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.
The stage is where her most extreme embodiments are realized, and her theatrical imagination lets loose: this is where the musical of her life is played out. Her personal songs also link to Grace’s family life, as the film takes us on a holiday road trip across Jamaica, where her family roots and the story of her traumatic childhood are uncovered. Directed by critically acclaimed Sophie Fiennes.
“Beautiful and strong, sensitive and fierce” – CineVue
“Grace Jones's intelligence, integrity and vulnerability come through as never before” – London Evening Standard
“It's a celebration of defiant, uncompromising originality, a commodity which is all too rare in music these days” – The Observer
