    Sheer joy to watch

    Not only was this one of the most insightful biographical films I have ever seen, it was also a most poignant and revealing documentation of turn of the century social attitudes. This is truly a great film that I especially recommend to blues and rock and roll afficiandoes. Leadbelly in my opinion played a major part in the history of music and this movie plays a significant part towards documenting his story.

    The movie is straightforward, but Lead Belly's music holds it together

    It's a biopic of the blues and folk musician Lead Belly. It alternates between Texas and Louisiana and covers Lead Belly's life from about 1910 to 1933.

    The film opens with Lead Belly (Roger E. Mosley) in prison in 1933, where John (James Brodhead) and Alan Lomax visit him. They are recording African American folk music, including early blues, for the Library of Congress. The film then flashes back to Lead Belly's early 20s when he still lived at home with his father, Wes (Paul Benjamin), and mother, Sally (Lynn Hamilton), and his wife, Lethe (Rhetta Greene).

    Lead Belly then moves to the redlight district of Shreveport, Louisiana, where he plays at whorehouses and encounters Miss Eula (Madge Sinclair) and singer Blind Lemon (Art Evans). "Leadbelly" follows his life, including two murders--one of a friend in the early 1910s and a later one around 1925, soon after his release from a Texas prison. There is much time given to his prison experiences. The movie concludes with his 1933 encounter with Thomas Lomax.

    The movie is straightforward, but Lead Belly's music, dubbed by Hi Tide Harris, holds it together. Harris does an excellent job. The "Leadbelly" dialogue is blunt, reflecting the racial understandings of the day. The cinematography struck me as only OK, and some of the acting, particularly by secondary characters, seemed stiff.

    leadbelly

    As a music video this film works well with generous amounts of the title character's songs and a guitar picking contest that is the equal of "Deliverance", in my humble. However as a serious biopic of a musician of genius it falls considerably short mostly due to Ernest Kinoy's rather superficial script, which is long on knife fighting and tomcatting around in bordellos and "Cool Hand Luke" wannabe chain gang stuff but alarmingly thin on why Leadbelly became a blues singer instead of, say, a farmer or a pimp or why many of his most famous songs, like 'Goodnight Irene" and "Midnight Special", seem to have as much folk influence as blues. So enjoy the concert but if you want to know more about this important figure in American culture you'll have to do some reading. C plus.

    Good biography

    Leadbelly isn't a great movie, but it does a good job of conveying a sense of the man, and the lead performance is very strong.

    Director Parks doesn't quite carry off the sense of how alien a world the old segregated South was, and the movie has a bit too much of a this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened quality to it, rather than shaping Leadbelly's story to make a great movie.

    But overall the movie is engaging, entertaining, and educational, and you get a sense of why he was such an influence on today's music. It's an enormous shame that the Weavers never credited him in "Wasn't that a time."

    Wonderfully evocative

    Marvellously atmospheric piece, loaded with great music, full of the air and vibe of blues legend Leadbelly's life and times. Color, energy, wonderful cinematography with washed-out colors suggesting heat and years of sun; truly great soundtrack. Every blues and rock fan should see it.
