À propos de ce produit

Product Information

A jazz innovator for decades, Sun Ra created a sound that could easily have come from his home planet--Saturn. The legend around Sun Ra is bizarre and complex, and it's one element in John Coney's insane 1974 film SPACE IS THE PLACE. Conceived as a vehicle for Sun Ra and his music, the film blends 1950s sci-fi, '70s Blaxploitation, and Ingmar Bergman's THE SEVENTH SEAL in an intense, provocative mix. The story involves Sun Ra, an intergalactic messenger sent to Earth to spread a message of peace and love, and to take disaffected and downtrodden black Americans to his astral utopia. He finds opposition, however, in the Overseer, a white-suited devil who cruises around in a huge Cadillac, and always has a woman on each arm. That the Overseer, like Sun Ra, is black underscores the film's point that sometimes oppression can come from within. The director's cut revives the issues dealt with in the film and highlights Sun Ra's career. The innovative combination of social commentary and psychedelic musical space adventure captures the funkiness of the counter-culture blossoming throughout the 1960s.

Space is the Place - Sun Ra and the Arkestra
I love this completely ridiculous movie. It is totally silly and could very easily be a good example of an early 1970s Blaxploitation movie (remember that genre?). The budget was minuscule and the special effects were "special" more in the sense of "special education" if you know what I mean. So I like bad movies... Am I saying that this is another "Godzilla"? Hardly. More along the lines of Ed Wood, as far as visual effects go. Perhaps the most absurd is the spaceship, which is intended to look like a pair of sunglasses, it ends up looking like a huge pair of flying breasts in a tan brassiere. Constructed with Sun Ra's vision, which did not waver throughout his long life and career, was that he was a sort of angel sent to Earth to help enlighten us. He saw himself as a leader and a ...

Hardly. More along the lines of Ed Wood, as far as visual effects go. Perhaps the most absurd is the spaceship, which is intended to look like a pair of sunglasses, it ends up looking like a huge pair of flying breasts in a tan brassiere. Constructed with Sun Ra's vision, which did not waver throughout his long life and career, was that he was a sort of angel sent to Earth to help enlighten us. He saw himself as a leader and a teacher, and that the world was just simply not ready for him. You might look at my review of the excellent biography of the same name, or better yet, buy it and read it. Then you will have a better understanding of Herman Sonny Blount and his universe. The plot of this movie is a sort of cosmic western, where the forces of good and evil play out a scenario based on a game of cards - to decide the fate of the world. Sonny and his (spaceship) crew are making a brief visit to Earth, and their adventures (and mis-adventures) in the repressed black community of 1972 Los Angeles are a crisp and painful period piece. The characters are stiff and cliched, as you might imagine, and the dialogue is wooden. But it really is a grand concept, a clear underlying vision, and they did what they could with what little resources they had to work with. If you can overlook the crudeness of the execution, there really is some substance to it, in the Omniverse. With this DVD release, you also get some nice bonus short films such as "home movies" of the Arkestra visiting the pyramids in Egypt. (If you want actual concert footage and music, you should seek out the short black and white film called "The Magic Sun" from the mid-60s that is exquisite.) But for Sun Ra's only actual narrative movie with a plot and a script - this is it. Go ahead and buy it. You have read this far, so you must be interested. You can spare a twenty dollar bill and half an inch of shelf space. And you really don't have the right to expect much more. You will get some good laughs, both intended and unintended by the filmmakers, and see and hear some (maybe 10%) good music, too.

A film that cannot compete with its accompanying album
Pensive, timeless-sounding, emotive jazz music that builds from a romp to an explosive cacophony in just a few bars. Provocative, apocalyptic messages set to song lyrics. Elegantly dressed dancers swaying their bodies to boisterous funk. And at the center of it all, the arcane Sun Ra, philosophizing about science, the planet Earth, and the universe. These are a few of the reasons why this writer bought "Space is the Place," a DVD featuring Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Solar Arkestra in director John Coney's 1974 underground film . . . and then some. Boasting a dense discography (over 100 albums), Sun Ra and the Arkestra are one of the greatest musical acts in jazz history.

These are a few of the reasons why this writer bought "Space is the Place," a DVD featuring Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Solar Arkestra in director John Coney's 1974 underground film . . . and then some. Boasting a dense discography (over 100 albums), Sun Ra and the Arkestra are one of the greatest musical acts in jazz history. Coney's inability to capture that greatness on film is both a shortcoming of the movie and a testament to the group's power. Ra and company merely come off as very good, with most of their strengths obscured by a meandering storyline. "Space is the Place" is equal parts blaxploitation, race discourse and goofy sci-fi, a simple story about Ra and the Arkestra arriving on Earth from outer space, with a mission of helping African Americans. Ra battles with the Overseer, a black man of supernatural standing, for his race's salvation. Along the way, black youths, hookers, the FBI, two wanton nurses, NASA workers and a reporter named Jimmy Fey figure into things. The film is presented in its original 82-minute length; it and an interview with director Coney along with the film's producer are this writer's favorite parts of the package. A brief clip of home movies of Sun Ra and the band is interesting, too, but the interview bears much-desired insight into Sun Ra as a creative person. In closing, it's only the written materials that come with the DVD that this writer has an issue with: the written introduction by Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore, John Coney's liner notes and an essay by Sun Ra biographer John Szwed. The articles are littered with typos. Still, "Space is the Place" is a work worth buying, as well as a fascinating - if sometimes silly - look at Sun Ra's message of uplift for black people.

Amazing film break it down and analyze
If you understand the metaphysics behind Sun Ra's message of vibration (music) being a vehicle that you can travel spiritually to many places and being aware of your heritage in the cosmos. Analyze the meanings behind what hes saying a lot of it you cant take literally as hes mentioning a galactic picture.
