What began as a documentary of the funeral of Bob Marley was transformed into a spiritual poem on the strange and beautiful lives of the Jamaican people — a life of poverty and oppression in a land of paradise. Director Alan Greenberg and cinematographer Jorg Schmidt-Reitwein both have collaborated closely with acclaimed German director Werner Herzog, who specializes in creating a dreamlike otherworld. With them at the helm, LAND OF LOOK BEHIND cultivates a similar poetic atmosphere, and becomes a beautiful look at a nation and its music.
