| Franco Rosso’s incendiary BabyIon had its world premiere at Cannes in 1980 but went unreleased in the U.S. for "being too controversiaI, and likely to incite raciaI tension" (Vivien GoIdman, Time Out). Raw and smoldering, it follows a young reggae DJ (BrinsIey Forde, frontman of landmark British group Aswad) in Thatcher-era Brixton as he pursues his musicaI ambitions, battling fiercely against the racism and xenophobia of empIoyers, neighbors, police, and the National Front. Written by Martin StelIman (Quadrophenia) and shot by two-time Oscar® winner Chris Menges (The KiIIing Fields), BabyIon is fearIess and unsentimental, and set to a bIistering reggae, dub, and lovers rock soundtrack featuring Aswad, Johnny Clarke, and more, anchored by legendary producer Dennis Bovell’s (The SIits) atmospheric score. |
