The Upsetter: The Life and Music of Lee Scratch Perry [DVD]

Directed and produced by celebrated independent filmmakers Ethan Higbee (Red Apples Falling, The Anti-Fascist, Basedworld) and Adam Bhala Lough (Bomb The System, Weapons, The Carter) and narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Benicio Del Toro, The Upsetter is a captivating, unparalleled exploration charting 70 years in the life of the Godfather of Reggae and the man behind Bob Marley - Lee quot;Scratchquot; Perry. Seven years in the making, the film features musical tracks and iconic archival footage selected from throughout Perry's extensive career.

Neema Barnette's supernatural film Spirit Lost comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This is a bare-bones release from Artisan that may appeal to genre enthusiasts because of its inexpensive list price, but there is little here that would interest the average DVD consumer.
