Soul Power
Soul Power is a 2008 documentary film about the Zaire 74 music festival in Kinshasa which accompanied the Rumble in the Jungle heavyweight boxing championship match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in October 1974. The film was made from archival footage; other footage shot at the time focusing on the fight was edited to form the film When We Were Kings.

I was at a theatre in Paris where they were showing Soul Power, the documentary of the legendary concert that took place in Zaire Africa before the fight between Ali and Forman that Ali won. I brought the outfit worn by James Brown in the film to the theatre. Catch the film on DVD. It is inspiring musically and socially. Incredible performances by James Brown, The Spinners.

Hair
"Hair" is a 1979 musical war comedy-drama film adaptation of the 1968 Broadway musical "Hair: An American Tribal Love-Rock Musical" about a Vietnam War draftee, Claude, who meets and befriends a tribe of long-haired hippies on his way to the army induction center. Claude heads to New York upon receiving his draft notice, leaving the family ranch in Oklahoma. He arrives in New York where he is rapidly indoctrinated into the youth subculture before reporting in for boot camp.

When I was younger, there were all these great plays like Godspell, Jesus Christ Superstar, Hair, and I saw the music taking on a very theater-type vibe.

Stardust Memories
While attending a retrospect of his work, a filmmaker recalls his life and his loves: the inspirations for his films.

Lenny Kravitz
Actor, Musician
As the son of a Russian Jew and an African-American, Kravitz has a mixed background that enables him to come up with one-of-a-kind ideas and comparisons –– like describing the movie Stardust Memories as Woody Allen’s Electric Ladyland.

Manhattan
Manhattan explores how the life of a middle-aged television writer dating a teenage girl is further complicated when he falls in love with his best friend's mistress.

Lenny Kravitz
Actor, Musician
My favorite movie, if I had to pick one: Manhattan. I’m a Woody Allen fanatic.

Yelling To The Sky
As her family falls apart, seventeen year old Sweetness O'Hara is left to fend for herself in a neighborhood where her survival is uncertain.

Lenny Kravitz
Actor, Musician
She also did this really beautiful independent film, Yelling to the Sky, which went to the festivals.

Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Fantastic Mr. Fox bored with his current life, plans a heist against the three local farmers. The farmers, tired of sharing their chickens with the sly fox, seek revenge against him and his family.

Lenny Kravitz
Actor, Musician
And I actually just watched Fantastic Mr. Fox [2009]. George Clooney and Meryl Streep were flawless.

The Royal Tenenbaums
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinary --- all geniuses. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the story of the family's sudden, unexpected reunion one recent winter.

Lenny Kravitz
Actor, Musician
Oh, I love comedy. I like dark comedies. Things like . . . Well, obviously, Woody Allen and Wes Anderson. The Royal Tenenbaums [2001] is one of my favorites.

At Eternity's Gate
Famed but tormented artist Vincent van Gogh spends his final years in Arles, France, painting masterworks of the natural world that surrounds him.

Lenny Kravitz

I just saw Julian Schnabel’s new film @ateternitysgatefilm about Vincent Van Gogh. It is a gorgeous poetic look at the mind and soul of the artist so beautifully portrayed by Willem Dafoe. Go check it out. Bravo Julian.
