The Nine Muses
John Akomfrah
The Nine Muses [videorecording]= John Akomfrah - Ghana United Kingdom Smoking Dogs Films 2010 - 1 videodisc (ca. 90 min.) sound, color. 4 3/4 in. - Icarus Films The Nine Muses .
From case cover:
John Akomfrah's haunting film-essay weaves Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," with the history of mass migration from Africa, the Caribbean, and South Asia, to Post War Britain. Divided into chapters named after each muse, the film features stunning winter vistas, a soundtrack rich in readings from Homer to Dante to T.S. Eliot, and the music of Arvo Pärt and India's Gundecha Brothers. Creating a philosophical rumination on the emigrant's experience, the journey, and the idea of home, "The Nine Muses" (Sundance Film Festival 2011) is a remarkable meditation on displacement, identity, and memory.
DVD video; Dolby Digital 2.0; stereo; NTSC; Region 1; 16:9 widescreen.
English audio. No subtitles.
