1972, Jamaica, 103 min
New restoration courtesy of AGFA. This Scarface-y blend of crime drama and musical tracks Jimmy Cliff’s country-boy-in-search-of-fame through Jamaica under the guises of laborer, recording artist, convict, ganja dealer, to outlaw folk hero. This game-changer forever blew the doors off the foreign film market — and reggae still hasn’t lost its cool, its edge, or its power to make you dance.
Restoration Tuesdays: our new ongoing series of newly restored films is generously sponsored by IATSE 856. All admissions to these screenings is $5.
