Theme of the month: OUTLAWS.
Sunday 9 May film: The Harder They Come (Perry Henzell, Jamaica, 1972)
May film program
Today a portrait of a Jamaican reggae outlaw. The Harder They Come, cult film from Perry Henzell, realized in 1972, starring music legend Jimmy Cliff, who plays Ivan O. Martin, a character inspired by a legendary 1950s Jamaican outlaw named Ivanhoe Martin, better known as Rhygin. Famous for its groovy soundtrack, the film is certainly no musical. It�s an unvarnished snapshot of life in post colonial Jamaica, religion, corruption, marijuana, misery. Henzell: "I consider myself a real filmmaker the way Ken Loach or Cassevettes is."
