Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami (2017)
As extraordinary as the subject matter, what amazing music!!
Just watched this at the InEdit festival and it blew me away. The contrast between young Grace and her image at 60+ is striking, but refreshing. There is a real woman behind the diva and we get good glimpses of that thru' her family life in Jamaica, as well as beautifully shot concert footage from her Dublin performances of 2016. Not a linear script, but with such an amazing character being explored, this could be expected.
A Film About Coffee (2014)
perfect intro to the new world of coffee
Finally managed to watch this at a local event (Chilean coffee culture is just sprouting) and after having read up a bit about the new world of coffee, I was ready to enjoy another immersion, this time in visual format.
Spent a good hour marveling at the process from the plants to the cup. A lengthier piece might have provided more depth, but there was plenty to enjoy, particularly in the great interviews with the true coffee lunatics. Coffee should be sexy, and this is good coffee porn.
Main turnoff for me was the use of the classic cliché of the "poor simple peasant" whose life is made possible by those willing to pay the 7 dollar cup at the other end of the production chain. Only when one of the importers speaks of "direct trade" does the condescending verticality of the process fade out, marginally.
