Preview: The Weird World of Blowfly (2011)

Synopsis:

Acclaimed songwriter, vocalist and record producer Clarence Reid has given away his fortune and devoted his life to his persona Blowfly, a crude soul & rap artist travelling the country sharing his passion for music.

• Poster: B

Review:

It sits in stark contrast to other posters released this week and for some time into the recent past, though it does rely heavily on '70s design pastiche to share its subject, which will work for some, but not all.

• Trailer: C

Review:

The trailer's fairly standard for this type of documentary, which might not draw too many to the art house. The lone saving grace is that Blowfly seems like an interesting figure, which might encourage some unfamiliar with him to seek this out.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• September 16, 2011
