Review of Soul Power (2009) by Spookie M — 15 Oct 2009
Fast, funky, and just as fresh as the footage was in 1974, 'Soul Power' has as much rhythm in its cinematic construction as it does in its subjects. I went for James Brown, but what I got was a humble celebration of all kinds of music, with an array of talent ranging from B.
B. King to street performers no one will ever hear of. That beauty of the festical is that it treated all its artists equally, and Levy-Hinte's careful filmmaking ensures this equality is understood and appreciated.
The respect and encouragement Brown and the other star performers give the people of Africa is incredibly inspiring. And then there's the music- some of the most soulful sounds one could ever imagine.
