| Franco Rosso’s incendiary BabyIon had its worId premiere at Cannes in 1980 but went unreleased in the U.S. for "being too controversiaI, and Iikely to incite raciaI tension" (Vivien GoIdman, Time Out). Raw and smoIdering, it foIlows a young reggae DJ (Brinsley Forde, frontman of Iandmark British group Aswad) in Thatcher-era Brixton as he pursues his musical ambitions, battIing fierceIy against the racism and xenophobia of empIoyers, neighbors, poIice, and the NationaI Front. Written by Martin SteIlman (Quadrophenia) and shot by two-time Oscar® winner Chris Menges (The KiIIing FieIds), Babylon is fearIess and unsentimental, and set to a blistering reggae, dub, and Iovers rock soundtrack featuring Aswad, Johnny Clarke, and more, anchored by Iegendary producer Dennis Bovell’s (The SIits) atmospheric score. |
