Luv dat. Dis ere movie criss.
Really enjoyed it. It captured what I imagine the UK reggae scene was like back in the early 80s. I didn't turn on to reggae until the late 80s and that was in Rasta Cruz, so a much different scene. But I've been to Jamaica and it was intense, plus I've travelled across Asia where reggae is strong, so I've seen it manifest in less hospitable environments. I loved the snapshot of the brit ghetto vibe and the soundtrack was solid roots reggae, lover's rock, and blues. It set up a solid atmosphere, very relatable, especially the subway scenes for some weird reason - it remind I&I of many a BART ride, back in the daze.
Glad to have finally seen this. It's truly a classic reggae film.
Seen on Criterion.
