Later with Jools Holland 10/31/08: Grace Jones performs THREE live songs over the course of the program along with THREE different costume changes as well.

Allows us to appreciate the reality of the artist in her most candid moments, in her own words, which is way more interesting than what we’d find in yet another standard biopic. She's not afraid of her life, visiting shacks of old family friends, standing naked in the shower, yelling at subordinates when she finds her hotel hasn't been comped.In June 1971 The New York Times, the Washington Post and the nation’s major newspapers took a brave stand for freedom of speech and reported on the Pentagon Papers, the massive cover-up of government secrets that spanned four decades and four US Presidents. The 2003 Prince’s Trust Annual Benefit Gala “Fashion Rocks” 10/29/03: Grace Jones performs “Nightclubbing” and 22. 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. This beautiful newly-remastered collection brings together the three albums and unreleased tracks, in-era mixes and instrumental versions.

No standard music documentary this, Bloodlight is an impromptu, unexpected, secret window into Jones' life, enveloped in concert footage specific to this film. Kritikerna var arga, flera riksdagsledamöter ville stoppa den, censuren klippte hej vilt och filmen anmäldes för olaga våldsskildring till justitiekanslern. If that degree of access doesn't mark this as a documentary like few others, then the razor-sharp artistry with which it is put together should seal the deal. Concert footage looks the best, pretty clear, clean and sharp, with deep, rich colors and good fine details of Jones' face, makeup, costumes and head-wear. Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami takes the viewer on an intimate and electrifying journey that moves between four cinematic layers – performance, family, artist and traveller – to explore the fascinating world of this pop cultural phenomenon.

A huge pity: the original "One Man Show" is one of the greatest music video packages of all time, but this is just a substandard VHS rip complete with a false aspect ratio. Just as Jones onstage is vaguely mechanic and superhuman in her dead-funky songs, so is she vulnerable, real, funny and fierce throughout the rest of the documentary. 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.

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. 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. 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. By using this service you thereby indemnify this Company, its employees, agents and affiliates against any loss or damage, in whatever manner, howsoever caused. To wit; concert footage is awesome, with a wide dynamic range perfectly suited to Jones' over/under musical ethos.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. DTS-HD Master Audio track sounds fantastic where it should be, and is perfectly serviceable in other areas.
