★★★★ “…an access-absolutely-all-areas tour of her world in this globe-trotting doc.” – Time Out

Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami takes the viewer on an intimate and electrifying journey that moves between cinematic layers – performance, family and artist – to explore the fascinating world of this pop cultural phenomenon. Here we see her behind the mask as a daughter, mother, sister and grandmother, alongside taking to the stage for a specially commissioned performance, with legendary hits including Pull Up to the Bumper and Slave to the Rhythm showcased in full.

Larger than life, bordering on cartoon, wild, scary and androgynous – Grace Jones plays all these parts.
