Leaving January 1
Directed by Perry Henzell | 89 mins | 2006
Perry Henzell’s follow-up to "The Harder They Come" (1972) very nearly never saw the light of day: funding dried up before its completion, and then the footage was lost. Rediscovered by chance in 2006 and restored in 2019—nearly half a century after the original shoot—this breezy but trenchant road movie romance sees Henzell swap the Blaxpoitation idiom of his debut for off-the-cuff New Hollywood naturalism. Featuring Grace Jones, in her screen debut.
