Synopsis

What if the most important story in your life was not your own? Billie Holiday, one of the greatest voices of all time, was always controversial—a proud black woman who preferred white audiences, an exploited artist and a violent drug addict, a loyal friend and a vindictive lover, a blues singer who didn’t sing the blues, and when she sang the seminal protest song Strange Fruit, an enemy of the state. Her enigmatic accounts of her own life were a mix of half truths and free-form improvisations. Then, in 1971, journalist Linda Lipnack Kuehl set out to write the definitive biography of Billie. Over 8 years, she tracked down and tape-recorded over 200 hours of interviews with the extraordinary characters that populated the iconic singer’s short, tumultuous life.

Limited and Virtual Releases: Feel Free to Watch a Movie the Weekend

June 11th, 2020

Hill of Freedom

There’s an eclectic mix of limited and virtual releases this week with more than a few that are earning critical praise. Marona’s Fantastic Tale is an animated film that packs an emotional punch and GKIDS has a proven track record when it comes to quality. Hill of Freedom is a South Korean romantic drama with an excellent hook and reviews to match. Even some of the smaller films on the main list, like The Short History of the Long Road, look intriguing. More...
